Thinking about preschool but not sure where to begin? There are tons of online resources available (including our Comprehensive Preschool Guide!), which are a great start.
But, you’ll never really know for sure if a school is the best fit for your family until you see it for yourself. So, we’ve complied a list of some local open houses!

LITTLE FOLKS SCHOOL
The Little Folks School is an independent school for children ages 18 months to 5 years, located in Georgetown.
Children at Little Folks School learn through active exploration and interaction with teachers, other children, and materials in a carefully prepared environment. Small class sizes and low teacher-student ratios allow for individualized instruction focusing on each child’s strengths, needs, and interests.
We focus on educating the whole child, including physical, social-emotional, and pre-academic skills.
