Provided by YP.comOpen Door Preschool offers consecutive class days to reduce the "transition" time each time they meet, play and fun are the focus of instruction and they take what they learn inside outside through partnerships with the colleges. The teachers instilled self-confidence and independence in my high energy boys. They let them explore, play and directed their interests to academic subjects. They are phenomenal and very patient!

Provided by YP.comIt is a great place for children to have their first school experience! Class sizes are small. The teachers are caring and know how to make learning fun! Children can be children! We love the environmental program which allows our children to work with St. Olaf students!
