Judson Preschool

Judson is a warm and loving play-based early childhood program, where children develop their confidence and independence, their stamina for learning, and build lasting friendships. Our mission is to bring together children and early childhood educators in an environment of self growth achieved through socialization and spontaneous learning, while building a sense of self worth and community. All of our lead teachers are licensed in early childhood education and provide a nurturing, warm space for children to feel safe, happy and grow. Our top priority is to create a positive environment where children develop friendships and confidence. We prioritize social-emotional learning and self- advocacy. We emphasize PLAY as the most important vehicle for learning by providing children with a wide range of age appropriate activities that are carefully planned by our professionally trained teachers. Our staff provides many opportunities for children to experience their environment through experimentation in the arts, dramatic play, large and fine motor activities, science experiments, creative movement, cooking and music. We are dedicated to the needs of ALL young learners, and we work in partnerships with Minneapolis Public Schools Early Childhood Special Education program. The interests the children develop at Judson guide them to develop a true love of learning.
