​
Woodland Hill Preschool is a non-profit, cooperative preschool serving children ages 3-5 and is a fully-licensed preschool. As the oldest preschool in the Copper Country area, Woodland Hill Preschool is proud of its history of excellence in offering quality, affordable early childhood education.
​
The teachers meet all state certification requirements for early-childhood educators. The preschool is open to all interested families and non-English speaking children are welcome.
​
We provides a safe, nurturing environment that encourages the development of a positive self-image and a love of learning. Our curriculum prepares them for future school experiences by fostering social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.
​
The classroom includes a dress-up play area, toy area, art area, blocks, a climber, and other activity areas. Painting and play dough are offered to the children regularly. The students play on an outdoor playground throughout the entire school year.
​
As a cooperative preschool, we rely on our member parents’ support for its continued success. An important key to a good preschool is interested parents/guardians who care about what happens in school and are willing to share their ideas, talents, and time to make the school better.
