At Smallville Preschool it is our vision to provide the children in our community with a loving environment where they may grow, develop, learn and be equipped for future education and life experiences. As they tour, our friends are welcomed with a stuffed animal tour buddy to help them navigate their new experience. They may keep this tour buddy to remember their time visiting. Once enrolled they receive a welcome to Smallville t-shirt. 

Choosing between Transitional Kindergarten and preschool usually comes down to whether you prioritize a free, structured public  school environment or a more nurturing, play based setting. Tk is usually only a few hours a day and many after school programs are full.  This causes a hardship for many working parents. This is another reason a private preschool might be preferred. We offer full day care to our students. The teacher to child ratio is usually lower for a preschool than TK. Preschools are better equipped to handle children who are not yet fully potty trained, or may have occasional potty accidents. Preschool includes a scheduled nap time to help the children re-charge

leading to less irritable behaviors in the afternoons. If your child is sensitive to large groups, a preschool program might offer a smoother transition into kindergarten. Although both programs offer benefits, we feel preschool provides more one on one experiences, and a more nurturing environment. Smallville has fully qualified Early Childhood Education trained teachers who specialize in this age group.
