At Columbus Pre-school, children feel nurtured and safe in their school environment.

No matter their individual learning style and unique contributions, students know that they are integral, important members of their class and school community.

Columbus Testimonials
"Finding the right preschool for your toddler could be a daunting task, but doing so during Covid is overwhelming. Columbus Pre-School made it a no-brainer with their private playground, in-house gymnastics facility, and warm & welcoming staff. I know my son is in the best hands, and is thriving within the play-based, emergent curriculum. I can't wait to see what the next few years bring!"

"I have had two children at Columbus, one who has graduated and one who is currently enrolled. The educators are warm and compassionate role models for young children. The curriculum allows for innovation and joy, though also challenges the students. The physical space for play and activity is unmatched in the area. The administrative team is organized and thoughtful, particularly with challenges during the pandemic. Julie Kandall is incredibly experienced and guided us during the application to Kindergarten. We have met some of our closest friends at Columbus pre-school."
