Preschool enrollments are underway

If you want to send one of your children to preschool, there are seven possibilities in the Decorah area.  Those preschools have started enrolling students for the upcoming school year and are offering open houses to give the public a chance to see their facilities.  Preschool students need to be at least four years old as of September 15th in order to enroll.

The Decorah Community School District is currently part of Iowa's Statewide Voluntary Four-Year-Old Preschool Program.  The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for all young children in the State of Iowa to enter school ready to learn by expanding voluntary access to quality preschool curricula:
