Preschool at Pioneer
The purpose of our preschool program is to prepare children to enter kindergarten.
We believe in partnering with you to do so.

We believe parents are the first and most important teacher in a child’s life. It is you, the parent(s) who play a critical role in preparing your child for success with the assistance of the school; not the role of school with the assistance of parents.
We welcome  your involvement and invite open communication with your child's teacher.

​
We use a play-based, hands-on learning approach in our classrooms using the OWL, Handwriting without Tears and ZooPhonics curriculums. The combination of these curriculums and assessment with instruction by our MN licensed teachers earns our program the highest rating from MN Parent Aware. Watch the video below to learn more about the rating system. 
We offer a 2 day, full day program that runs the length of the school year. Transportation to and from may be available, check with Tracy Voigt at 320-630-3475 with questions.

For the 2022-23 school year, classes will be offered on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday with Fridays utilized for intervention and make up days.

Curriculums

Handwriting without Tears
Handwriting Without Tears promotes proper grip and strength PRIOR to starting to write. Preschool will teach children to write their name using all upper case letters starting in January. If you want to help your child, encourage lots of strokes starting at the top ad pulling down while using the proper grip. Build their hand strength before writing their name.
OWL- Opening Worlds of Learning
Picture
ZooPhonics
ZooPhonics will help students learn the letter 's name and sound by adding actions and a physical element to the learning. You can help your child learn their letters by reading with them, naming letters in their name or give them a list when grocery shopping and point out the first of items. Letters that are personal (such as their name or favorite snack or restaurant) are easiest.

Early Intervention

Intervention services are based on your child’s individual needs in order to help your child learn and grow. Accessing intervention services as early as possible will ensure the best developmental outcomes for your child.
  • Decades of rigorous research show that children’s earliest experiences play a critical role in brain development.
  • High quality early intervention programs for infants and toddlers can reduce the incidence of future problems in their learning, behavior and health.
  • Intervention is likely to be more effective and less costly when it is provided earlier in life rather than later.
  • High quality intervention services can change a child’s developmental path and some children catch up to the same developmental levels as other children their age.
  • Families benefit by being able to better meet their child’s needs from an early age.
If you have concerns on your child's development, don't hesitate to call and ask for more information. You can contact Sarah Funk at 320-468-6458 ext 7 or go to the Help Me Grow website.
Students who meet criteria may be eligible receive home based services or attend preschool at no charge through the ECSE program.
