Centaur PreschoolCentaur Preschool offers a full-day, DHS-certified program designed to provide 3-year-old scholars with a strong foundation for school success. Through an engaging, play-based curriculum, children explore the world around them with curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Our program blends preschool learning, child care support, and social-emotional development to meet the needs of both children and families.

Centaur Preschool operates as a combined classroom, where 3 to 5-year-old students learn and grow together in a supportive, inclusive setting. This model allows for peer learning, leadership opportunities for older students, and individualized support for each child based on their developmental stage. Full-day childcare for 3-4 year olds, and half day child care for those enrolled in Pre-K.

Please note: Half-day child care is only available for children enrolled in Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK/Pre-K).

Centaur Preschool is open from 7:30am - 2:30pm on all school days. After school childcare is available through our Centaur Plus program. Please register using this link https://bccs286.arux.app/
