MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Thank you for your interest in Pleasant Hill Preschool. The staff and I are here because of our love of children and our commitment to giving them a solid foundation that will instill a love of learning. We are a small preschool which makes us feel like family. Your child will be welcomed each morning with a smile. They will return home to you with many stories of friends they have made, fun activities they were engaged in, songs that they learned and a desire to come back the next day. I often hear from parents how their child wakes up on Saturday morning disappointed that it isn’t a school day. They want to be here. They feel the love they need to bloom and grow. I look forward to the privilege of getting to know your child and welcome you all personally to the Pleasant Hill Preschool family.

Professional, highly qualified staff who provide a warm, nurturing environment.
My Daughter has become more social…and learned so much.
I love the way they use hands on learning.
Children develop crucial social skills under gentle guidance of teachers.
I love the diversity of this preschool.
Truly exceeded my expectations.
Each child is cared for and developed as an individual in their small classroom setting.
The curriculum is well-developed and includes both child- and teacher-directed projects. The small classes foster both academic and social development.
I love the small classes and know that her teachers really care about every child!
It was such a comfort knowing my boys were in such a loving environment.
