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.
