The preschool is a warm, welcoming space nestled in the woods of the charming and quaint town of Indianola, Washington.

Our students thrive in an environment that has a balance of one-on-one learning, group activities, unique art and science based projects, outdoor time and more. We put a strong emphasis on the social emotional health of the children we teach and encourage compassion and empathy for one another.

WHY CHOOSE INDIANOLA PRESCHOOL?

We engage our students with hands-on activities, strong practices in literacy, numeracy, group activities, art, science, outdoor time and so much more. We recognize that children develop on their own timelines and tailor our program to advance each child’s unique development wherever they may be when we first meet them.

My four year old is always thrilled that it is a "preschool day". The owner is experienced, communicative, attentive and an all around good person”

“When describing Indianola Preschool, I often use the word magical. The teachers provide a learning environment that is play-based, safe and creative. The school itself is nestled among trees and has a wonderful outdoor space that is used year-round. My kids have very different personalities, and both were met with love from their teachers, were honored for who they are and had their needs met. I can honestly say that both of my children did not just attend Indianola Preschool but flourished there. They still look back and tell me how much they miss their teachers and their preschool. I also really appreciate how well the teachers communicated with families and the sense of community I found there. Miss Courtney would send weekly emails with pictures and stories about what happened at preschool and both teachers were always willing to take a little extra time to make sure that families felt included and welcomed. We are so lucky that our children attended this magical place and would highly recommend it to other families who are looking for a preschool where their children will have fun and learn at the same time!”

“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Indianola Preschool. Teacher Courtney and Teacher Melinda made our preschool years such a wonderful experience. Both of our children attended preschool there and enjoyed their time with them immensely. Our kids are now 7 and 9, and their names are still brought up all the time in our house as 'the best teachers ever!'
Teacher Courtney really got to know each of our kids and helped them thrive in their classroom. Whether they were feeling overwhelmed socially, or a little too wiggly in circle time, they were met with patience, love and support. It was awesome to see both kids be so understood and cared for.
As someone who has also worked in the childcare industry for many years, I was impressed by the level of professionalism, organization and creativity at Indianola Preschool. One thing that truly stood out is the absolute joy these teachers had to be there. Our kids felt so loved- our whole family did to be honest! We love Indianola Preschool! A true gem in the community”
