We had the best experience with this beautiful preschool. From the staff to the preschool facility itself we could not fault it! A very supportive team of teachers and the best part is the outdoor area, your regular city preschool just does not compare. It also provides the essential education experience children need before starting their schooling journey. Three children through this preschool and we recommend to all our friends with young ones. Thanks, Dorie Preschool : )

The most amazing community preschool with the most incredible teachers! I cannot say enough great things about this school & how much my two kiddos love it. My kids started here at age 2 (boy) & 10 months (girl) and they’ve come on leaps & bounds! Rural setting, quiet area so no traffic but lots of tractors and cows to see (bonus in my sons eyes!)

Amazing facility, lots of outdoor space eith real grass! Community owned. Amazing teachers and low teacher children ratio. I have had 3 children attend and all have loved this preschool.
