Welcome to Calico Butterfly Preschool!

a calico student at the fall festivalWe are a preschool program, with a Christian emphasis, serving children from infancy through prekindergarten. Our hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. through 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The infant/toddler program is year-round, and we offer a summer program for preschool and school-aged children. For the preschool program, Calico follows the APS academic calendar.

Staff at Calico follow a theme-based curriculum, Developmentally Appropriate Practice, and maintain low child-to-teacher ratios, below those required by State regulations.

The director of Calico Butterfly is Doreen Kleinsasser, who has served in this position since 2004. Doreen holds a degree in home economics education from North Dakota State University and has been in early childhood education since 1987.
