Preschool
Anoka-Hennepin Schools Preschool offers preschool classes, which prepare children for kindergarten. The preschool curriculum is closely aligned with the Anoka-Hennepin School District kindergarten curriculum, and licensed teachers monitor child progress and development throughout the school year. All preschool classrooms are inclusive of children with a wide range of abilities. Children gain important skills and experiences:
- Learning to follow routines and rules.
- Learning to get along with other children.
- Literacy, books, and writing.
- Math and number sense, science, art, and music.
Classes are held from September to May or June each school year at locations throughout the Anoka-Hennepin School District. Multiple class options are available with morning, afternoon, evening, and Saturday class times.

What does preschool pick-up and drop-off look like?
As a parent, you want to be sure that your child is ready for kindergarten after attending preschool. Licensed preschool teachers attend joint staff development sessions with teachers teaching students in kindergarten - grade three to closely align curriculum goals and academic progress. In addition, Anoka-Hennepin School District early learning and preschool programs use a common assessment tool to evaluate student learning, which is aligned with district-wide kindergarten-readiness benchmarks. 
As children begin attending Anoka-Hennepin Schools Preschool classes this fall, drop-off and pick-up will look a little different to align with state health and safety recommendations in our schools.
