Waconia Early Childhood Wildcat Preschool is excited to announce that we are a recipient of Voluntary PreKindergarten (VPK) funding from the State of Minnesota. This award comes because of our proven commitment to strong preschool programs, guided by evidence-based early childhood programming. Waconia Wildcat Preschool has been awarded tuition free preschool for up to 53 children who are 4 years old on September 1, 2024.
Voluntary PreKindergarten (VPK) is a tuition free, high-quality prekindergarten program designed to prepare eligible 4-year old children for success as they enter kindergarten the following year (2025-2026 school year). Programs use play-based learning, and coordinated transitions to kindergarten to create high-quality early learning opportunities that meet the needs of each child.
Of the 53 seats that we received funding for, there are currently nine seats remaining that will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. All current openings are classes that meet Monday through Friday from 12:00-2:30 p.m at the Educational Services Center at 520 Industrial Blvd. in Waconia.
