Bloomington Community Education

Starting preschool is an exciting milestone in your child’s life. The Bloomington preschool program is committed to preparing your child for success in kindergarten and beyond! Our licensed teachers set up classrooms to help children discover a love for learning while working on social emotional skills that will help get them ready for lifelong learning.

Our curriculum is based upon the MN Early Learning Indicators of Progress. These state standards define what we want preschool students to know and be able to do by the end of the preschool year. Preschool learning standards and benchmarks are aligned with the district’s kindergarten standards and benchmarks.

The year before kindergarten is an exciting time, as your child’s abilities and independence grow by leaps and bounds! Preschool classes focus on providing a foundation for lifelong learning and to help create social relationships. Children have both large and small group learning experiences in literacy, writing, math, music, art, and science.

We offer Preschool for Four's 5 days per week (M-F) for 2.5 hours at Pond and Southwood Centers and for those who live in the attendance areas of Valley View, Washburn, Indian Mounds, and Oak Grove Elementary sections at those schools.
