What is The PREP School of Crystal Falls?

The PREP School of Crystal Falls is a high-quality early childhood education center focused on nurturing the whole child with an emphasis on parent partnership. We combine play-based learning, social-emotional development, and early academics to prepare children for school and life.

We serve children from 6 weeks through 5th grade. Our programs include early childhood classrooms, private kindergarten (at most locations), and our ZONE programs for school-age students, which offer afterschool care and full day summer camp.

What is your educational philosophy?

Our philosophy is rooted in emergent-style learning, where curriculum is informed by children’s interests, development, and curiosity. While we are not a play-based program, we offer structured curricula for every age group alongside meaningful opportunities for play, exploration, and hands-on learning.

How do I enroll my child?

Enrollment starts with an inquiry–whether on the phone, online, or in person, we are happy to chat! Once families decide The PREP is the right fit, we will send a quick link for registration paperwork and payment details to secure a spot.

Is there a waitlist?

Some programs and age groups may have a waitlist. We encourage families to inquire early to secure a spot by registering and paying the admissions and materials fee
