Creating community, nourishing curiosity and inspiring wonder.

 

A Place Where Kids Can Be Kids

 

Macalester Plymouth Preschool recognizes the uniqueness of each child. We emphasize the concept of self-worth, as well as the development of social interaction skills.

Our mission is to create a climate for learning that encourages exploration, discovery, and creative encounters. Our philosophy is based on the knowledge that children learn through play, and so that is what they do at Macalester Plymouth Preschool.

 
 

Our Classrooms

Our preschool program accepts children who are 3, 4, or 5 years of age as of September 1 of the year of enrollment.  Special circumstances can be discussed with the preschool directors as they have discretion over the enrollment process.

In our classrooms, we nurture creativity and curiosity and encourage exploration of new ideas and experiences.

 

for 3- and 4-year-olds.

This is where students develop their first relationships with a peer community and learning.

for 4- and 5-year-olds.

Here students move beyond the classroom and explore what it means to be part of a larger, global community.

 

“Each child's inborn sense of wonder is a precious gift that we carefully nurture.”

— suzanne mcmahon, teacher emeritus
