Preschool Enrollment Information at Thunder Vista

We are excited to share that we offer half-day preschool sessions from Tuesday through Friday, with both morning and afternoon options available. If your child is turning 4 on or before October 1st, they qualify for free preschool through the Universal Preschool program. Thunder Vista offers 12 hours of free preschool for our 4 year olds. 

Thunder Vista is a P-8 school, serving students from preschool through eighth grade. Our preschool program is particularly special, as it creates a nurturing environment for our youngest learners. Along with our dedicated staff, we have middle school helpers who mentor the preschool children, fostering a sense of community and encouraging positive interactions.

We take pride in our fantastic teachers who are committed to providing an inclusive program. Every child, regardless of their background or abilities, is welcomed and supported in their learning journey. Our inclusive approach ensures that all students feel valued and can fully participate in classroom activities.

Additionally, preschoolers have the opportunity to engage in various school-wide events, such as the fun run, promoting school spirit and allowing children to connect with their peers.
