EARLY CHILDHOOD
What makes Annandale Preschool Unique?
Annandale Preschool is conveniently located in the Elementary school which makes it easier for transitions to K -5.
Four Star Parent Aware Rated program. Our program values licensed Early Childhood Teachers and trained teacher assistants in every classroom. We have an onsite special education team including speech, OT and PT. Our Early Childhood educators work to ensure a seamless transition to kindergarten.
We Believe Preschoolers learn…
By being active at this age. Classrooms are set up for learning with distinct areas and a variety of materials so that your child can make choices, create, explore and take responsibility for their own work. We understand that no two children are exactly the same. Our classroom routines let children learn at their own pace.

FREE! Early Childhood Screening
Who should be screened?
All Annandale School District children who are 3.5-5 years old and not currently enrolled in kindergarten. We recommend you complete your child’s screening at 3.5 years.
What is Early Childhood Screening?
Early Childhood Screening is a free developmental check-up required by the State of Minnesota for all preschool-aged children entering public kindergarten. The parent(s) attends with their child and participate in a summary review of the screening results, and talk about any questions or concerns they may have. Your child will have a developmental check of their cognitive, motor, speech, and social/ emotional skills reviewed. In addition, children have their vision, hearing, height, weight, health and immunization history checked.
Early intervention allows children to be ready for kindergarten.
Early Childhood Screening dates for the 2022 - 2023 school year are: • Friday, September 9th • Friday, October 7th • Friday, November 4th • Friday, December 9th • Friday, January 13th • Friday, February 10th • Friday, March 3rd • Friday, March 31st
To schedule an appointment call Ashley Cook at 320.274.3058 ext. 4187 to schedule your appointment.
