Jr. Pre-K at Evansville Day School

Evansville Day School offers the best preschool in the tri-state area for families who are looking to unlock their child's creative potential and develop a life-long love of learning. Our preschoolers engage in hands-on learning, both through structured and unstructured play. 

We welcome children as young as age 3 into the Jr. Pre-K program. The class has a lead teacher and teaching associate to provide individual attention and support to young learners. Our teaching approach focuses on play-based learning and engages the full range of senses — tactile, visual, olfactory, movement, rhythmic — so as to fully engage young minds and keep a powerful flow of discovery and wonder.
