Welcome to the Colfax-Mingo Community Preschool Program.  Our program serves 3 and 4-year-olds during 4 half-day sessions:

  • 3 year-olds
    • Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday-Morning
  • 4 year-olds
    • Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday-Afternoon
    • Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday-All Day (Limited availability/a random drawing for spots will determine placement)

We do not have preschool on Wednesdays.  Within our preschool, we believe that learning should be fun as well as educational and purposeful.  Our class schedules and activities address all developmental areas; large motor, fine motor, pre-academic (including literacy, math, social studies, and science), language, and social/emotional.  Children are also encouraged to develop independence and self-confidence.
