Preschool at MNW Elementary

The MNW Preschool Program believes all children learn best when a caring staff works to meet social, emotional, cognitive and physical goals in a hands-on environment.  Here is our updated preschool handbook.

Welcome

Manson Northwest Webster Preschool's goal is to provide a high quality program meeting each child's needs, including children with disabilities and those with diverse backgrounds. The preschool provides a rich learning environment that encourages children's natural curiosity and supports them to take risks that lead to new skill development. Children feel safe, respected, and cared for. The program has adopted and meets the IQPPS, administered by the Iowa Department of Education. The Iowa Learning Standards are used to guide expectations for the children and instructional practices.
