Why Preschool in Vail

Start your child's educational journey in an award-winning Vail School District preschool today. 

We have 12 preschools across the school district where children are immersed in an environment of critical thinking and engaged learning. We encourage a combination of self-directed learning and teacher-directed activities. Our mission is to teach our students of all abilities to learn to love school, accept others for who they are, and explore through play in a positive, fun, and encouraging environment. 

Enroll your child in a school district with the best educational opportunities in the state! Vail has been recognized locally, statewide, nationally, and even internationally for its outstanding educational programs, staff, and culture. And, Vail is now accepting open-enrollment families!
