About Our Program
Preschool at Edgewood Early Childhood Center
Edgewood City School District is proud to offer a high-quality, tuition-based preschool program at the Edgewood Early Childhood Center. Designed to give our youngest learners a strong start, our program provides a nuturing, engaging environment where children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our preschool follows a Monday–Thursday schedule, offering both morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) sessions to meet the needs of our families. This four day structure helps young children maintain a healthy balance between learning and rest. By reducing fatigue, students return each week refreshed and ready to learn, leading to better focus, behavior, and overall development.
We’re excited to welcome preschoolers and their families into the Edgewood Community. Our dedicated educators are committed to helping every child build the foundational skills they need for success in kindergarten and beyond.
