Our preschool program is a structured learning environment specifically designed for ages 3-5. We may make exceptions for 2.5-year-olds who are fully potty trained and mature enough for a structured classroom environment. Our school age program is most enjoyed by children kindergarten – 2nd grade.

MightyHearts Preschool’s child-focused curriculum has been developed by Amanda Reilley, an experienced Preschool Expert and professional with 20+ years of experience, knowledge, and understanding of children. As the Owner, Director and PassionateTeacher, she has created a thematic based curriculum that is packed with activities ranging from whole group circle time to active learning games that are inviting to children. We build vocabulary, early literacy skills and math concepts with songs and games. All lesson plans have been Carefully Crafted, Teacher Tested and Kid Approved!!!
LittleOnes Learn and Play using as many of their senses as possible. Hands-On games and activities teach Shapes, Colors, Letter and Numbers in a SuperFun way that engages our Minds and our Bodies. Upbeat music and songs reinforce what we are learning and kids will keep on singing long after the lesson is over. No worksheets. No flash cards. No "Repeat after me" chatter.

We love parents!!! Close interaction with parents and being supportive of families is something we strive for. We value personal relationships, so talking before or after class, sending a text or making a call are our most our favorite ways to keep in touch. ProCare is the software we use for the other stuff - attendance, tuition payments, record keeping, etc. ProCare also has parent messaging that we use for general school announcements and updates.
We love Social Media!!! Who doesn’t want to see all the fun stuff their child is doing in class?!? Facebook and Instragram are a great way for friends and families to see all the fun their favorite preschooler is having while learning. We know how much grandmas and grandpas adore their grandkids and they looooooooooove seeing all the pictures we post of the games, activities and cute crafts we do each day!!!
We love paper!!! Sometimes you just need a visual reminder, so we still send home old-fashioned calendars to post on the fridge or at your desk at work so you can be aware of every class party or special day coming up.
Using multiple communication methods allows parents to hear from us in ways that work best for you!!!
An average daycare classroom has 1 adult for every 10 children. Most childcare centers have as many as 20 preschoolers in one classroom with a teacher and an aid.
Not us!!! A fun and playful, yet peaceful classroom environment is one of our Core Values. We know too many kids in one room creates noise, chaos and can become overwhelming. For both kids & teachers!!! We love our staff and students too much for that.
MightyHearts Preschool has 2 qualified teachers and limits our class size to 12-15 students. Our classroom is purposely set up so the Director/Owner’s desk is right in the classroom space so she is always available to jump in and help. Or just join the FUN!!! Mrs. Reilley looooooves to sing and dance!!!
That’s 3 fantastic teachers loving and caring for a small and intimate group of little ones. And that’s just how we like it!!!
Studies have shown that children who are lucky enough to attend a preschool with a truly small class size reap tremendous educational benefits.
Benefits of smaller class sizes:
- More Love and Attention for each LittleOne from Teachers and Classmates
- Greater Opportunity to participate in Games, Activities, and Share Ideas in Group Discussions
- Calmer Classroom Environment for Focusing on Learning, Cooperation and FUN!!!
- Closer Friendship Connections Builds a Classroom Community
- Extra Enjoyable Teaching Experience for Teachers
- Happy Teachers + Happy Kids = Happy Families!!!
Accidents happen and that's just the PreschoolLife. However, all LittleOnes must be out of diapers and/or PullUps before joining our class. If your child is not quite fully potty trained but almost there, we can help them complete their potty training journey. Our teachers are a HugeHelp in this department, but honestly, it’s amazing what just being in a classroom full of other kids who use the potty independently does to encourage the End of an Era… It’s like Magic!!!
And the answer is YES. We lay down for quiet time every afternoon 1:30-3:30pm. Some nap, some don’t. But they all have a chance to rest after a busy morning of Sharing, Caring, TakingTurns, ABCs & 123s. Having fun can be exhausting!!!
MightyHearts Preschool provides morning and afternoon snacks. LittleOnes get to bring their own lunchbox each day for lunch packed by mom or dad with the foods they like, are within their dietary requirements and fit into their family’s values for what’s appropriate to eat. We do ask parents to follow the USDA requirements for nutrition and include a grain, a protein, a fruit and a vegetable in every lunchbox meal.
We welcome DHS assistance!!!
ERDC payments do not always cover the full tuition payment and parents are financially responsible for the difference as well as paying their copay each month.
Late pick-up fees, late payment fees, etc. are not covered by DHS and are the financial responsibility of the parents.
Our center will be closed for the last week at the end of August to prepare for the new school year as well as these Special Holidays:

- New Year's Day

Absolutely!!! SafetyFirst!!!
Although we have an open-door policy for parents of current students to visit our classroom at any time during the day, we keep the main entrance doors to our building locked at all times. We have the added security of a Ring Video Doorbell. We can easily see from our classroom iPad who is coming and going.
All classroom tours are scheduled at the end of the day to protect our LittleOnes from people we don’t know entering the classroom. With the exception of State Officials, we do not allow random visitors to enter without a scheduled appointment.
Our playground is completely fenced in and located in the back area of the building for safe, fun outdoor activities. Our school is very private and safe.
