COVID-19 Preparedness

Safe and Healthy Learning EVERY Day

The pandemic has changed nearly every aspect of our lives, except for one: a commitment to safely better our students through educational experiences both in and out of the classroom.

Because of measures put in place prior to the start of the 2020-2021 school year, and the outstanding commitment of both our staff and families, we were able to safely remain open. As we look the 2021-2022 school year, we are as committed as ever before to ensuring the safety measures used at Valley align with

current and latest safety recommendations put forth by the CDC and MDH.

At Valley Preschool, our mission is to create a place where students feel safe to tackle obstacles and

try new things. We work and will continue to work hard to offer a variety of quality opportunities daily

to help each student be the best version of themselves, all while

keeping safe and having lots of fun along the way!
