Why Preschool?

Wadena-Deer Creek Preschool is a wonderful preparation for elementary school; it’s a place where young children can meet and interact, feel safe away from mom and dad, learn, and have fun! A quality preschool stimulates your child’s imagination and physical, social and emotional development. It also provides opportunities for intellectual exploration.
