Campbell Recreation Pre-School provides a safe and nurturing environment for your child's first school experience. Each classroom is designed to maximize a child's learning experience.

To engage active and growing minds and bodies, we introduce as many different materials and hands-on learning opportunities as possible such as art, music, a movement lab, and language, reading, and math readiness activities. Oral language and listening skills are developed through circle time activities. Social skills are developed during both structured activities and unstructured free choice play time.

Our pre-school has provided children with their first school experience for over 20 years. We believe a child's first school experience sets the foundation for a love of learning.
