Early Education, part of Alexandria Public Schools Community Education, provides learning opportunities for students (birth-5 years) along with their parents/guardians/grandparents. The team is committed to providing quality educational opportunities for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Our unique center accommodates a variety of early education learning environments, including flexible classrooms, indoor/outdoor playgrounds, gardens, and a nature/walking trail.
The Early Education team consists of caring, and supportive Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) licensed teachers committed to providing exceptional learning opportunities offering individualized attention and learning goals aligned with Alexandria Public Schools' curriculum for a smooth transition to elementary. Early Education's strong social-emotional program focuses on positive reinforcement and teaching of our district's Code of Conduct (respect, responsibility, honesty, kindness, and fairness).
Young learners are developing at a rapid pace, requiring sensitive and responsive support from teachers and strong school-family partnerships. Programs at the Early Education Center support children and parents with a healthy start to their educational journey as they prepare their minds and bodies for their experience in Kindergarten.
