Mission Statement:

Our mission at Humboldt Preschool is to focus on the whole child by providing quality education to children ages three to five years old. We provide a safe and nurturing environment that our students and families feel welcome and comfortable to learn in.

Our professionally trained and qualified staff guides students in their learning.  We also believe that parents/guardians have the most influence in a child's life. We view parents as our partners in the education of their children.

The most important goal we provide for students is the opportunity to succeed.
