The Little Vikes Preschool  is a unique/one-of-a-kind program that offers children the opportunity to work one-on-one with a high school student.  Our program is based on a course that is designed to prepare high school students interested in pursuing a career in the education field.  These students are required to write detailed lesson plans, teach their lessons to the preschool children and work with the children on Kindergarten-readiness skills. Please remember that our program runs based on high school student enrollment.  We cannot guarantee anyone positions for the future.

We do focus on letter/number recognition, letter sounds, and letter/number writing skills.  For the morning session we have a "Weekly Letter" and in the afternoon session we have a "Letter of the Day." 

We also have a "Star Student" each day of preschool.  The "Star Student" has the opportunity to help with the calendar and daily songs and share a special "show & tell" item with the class.

The general public is put on a WAITING LIST, so call or email us now for information on enrolling your child By PUTTING THEM ON THE LIST

Our registration process begins in March with our currently enrolled preschoolers and our faculty/staff.  We then move on to the waiting list and fill our open spots in April.
