Preschool Childcare

The goals of the preschools begin with the desire to provide a safe, educationally, and socially enriching environment in which children learn to be self-confident. The program seeks to stimulate the children's curiosity and encourages well-rounded growth for their individual development based on their particular interests and needs. Breakfast and afternoon snack is served daily.

The Haggerty Preschool Program is a 10 month, school year, half-day program with some 2 or 3 days a week slots available. Enrollment is ongoing for all preschool programs.
