Our Preschool is like no other. Inside each classroom is an environment created to provide opportunities to promote learning
and a growing curiosity in each of our students. Here is what makes the New Prague Area School District Preschool program
stand out from the rest:
• Our top priority is to fulfill the need for your child to feel safe, secure, loved and a sense of belonging in the
classroom then your child will learn.
• All staff are trained in Conscious Discipline. A social and emotional intelligence classroom management
program designed to give all staff the discipline skills they need to address the emotional and social issues of
children.
• The OWL curriculum and SEEDS of Literacy are comprehensive and research based. They align with the
District’s learning goals and the MN State Standards.
• Our Second Step Curriculum prepares children for Kindergarten with self-regulation and executive function
skills that help them pay attention, remember directions, and control their behavior.
• We use the COR Advantage Whole Child Assessment built on 36 items that are proven by research to best
prepare child for school success.
• The teachers are among the best. All of our licensed teachers hold early childhood degrees and have extensive
experience in creating environments that promote learning.
WRAP (our wrap-around childcare program) provides children with a developmentally appropriate full day experience. As
parents you can be confident your children are receiving the education needed to prepare them for Kindergarten, as well as
the care they need while you work, without the hassle of finding transportation. Our WRAP experience rounds out their day by
providing:
• Weekly theme based activities that focus on your child’s social, emotional and creative development.
• Well trained staff who love children. Each member brings skills and knowledge that enhance each program.
• Convenience for families. WRAP is open M-F from 6:15am-5:30pm at the CEC and Eagle View sites.
• Enrollment WRAPS around your child’s preschool class with the option of adding non-preschool days and non-
school days for a low additional cost.
