Marshalltown Community School District's preschool program ensures every child has access to high-quality early education in a welcoming and supportive environment. With certified teachers, specialized services, and a focus on fostering a love of learning, your child will thrive alongside peers in a program tailored to meet diverse needs.

Our preschool program offers a carefully crafted daily schedule that balances academic learning with social-emotional development and physical activity. Each day begins with an activity to nurture emotional well-being, followed by engaging lessons in math and literacy using a data driven curriculum. Your child will also enjoy dedicated playtime for large motor development, indoors or outdoors.

At MCSD, we believe every child deserves access to preschool without financial barriers. That’s why our program is tuition-free, with no registration fees. To make your experience even more convenient, we provide breakfast, lunch, and transportation options, ensuring your child’s needs are met every day.

Preschool registration opens Monday, February 3, 2025 for the 2025-26 school year and we're here to guide you every step of the way. From placement confirmation in the spring to a personal home visit from their teacher before school begins, we ensure a smooth transition into this exciting new chapter for your child.
