Preschool
Our traditional preschool program is tuition based. The teachers work in collaboration with the Hartland Schools kindergarten teams as well as the district curriculum coaches to ensure each child is ready for kindergarten when they graduate from our program. The preschool program follows a unique teacher-created curriculum.
Our Preschool Program is located at Hartland Early Learning Center in downtown Hartland.
