Mark your calendars and join us for a Ribbon Cutting at 9 a.m. on February 2, 2016, at the Indianola Preschool (IPS), 205 S. Howard, Indianola.

The Indianola Preschool has been in the business of creating bright futures for young children since 1955, which makes them the longest running preschool in the state of Iowa!  The program began as a nursery school in the First United Methodist Church.  Later, more structured three, four, and five year old classes were offered as the program grew and were held at various locations: Mount Calvary Church, Redeemer Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church, and Trinity United Presbyterian Church.  Now the preschool is settled into its own location at 205 S. Howard Street, right off the square.

For children aged 3-5, the preschool provides a meaningful experience which promotes social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language development.  Caring and capable teachers nurture each child’s natural desire to learn.  We value and encourage an active partnership between home and school, with family events, field trips, weekly newsletters, and home and Parent Education Nights.

IPS is proud to be the ONLY preschool in Warren County to be given the highest rating of 5 stars in Iowa’s Quality Rating System!  Further, the preschool has been chosen as the Best Preschool/Child Care in Warren County in the Indianola Record Herald Tribune EVERY year!

Beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, the preschool will offer an after care option for students who attend morning classes.  Registration for the next school year will be held Saturday, February 13^th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Find out more by contacting IPS at 961-3798 or at indianolapreschool@hotmail.com.
