Kids Korner is a quality preschool and school age childcare program.
Our goal is to create a caring, high-quality learning environment for children before and after
school, on specified non-school days, and during the summer. We provide an environment that
encourages adventure, creativity, healthy self-concepts, respect for others, responsible
behavior, and a positive attitude.
Woodson –PreK — Provides care for children ages 3 — 5 who are enrolled in ECFE or ECSE Preschool programs or with limited space availability to the community. Children aged 3 to entering Kindergarten may be enrolled into the summer program. Registration approvals will be confirmed on first come first serve basis. We will offer as many spots as we have staff per our certification guidelines, students may be placed on a waitlist until spots are available. Approved families may not start the program until all fees are paid and processed. If family has indicated that a child has a special circumstance such as a disability, diagnosis or health conditions, a meeting may be required before childcare services can begin to determine the appropriate level of support needed.
✨ All students must be toilet trained at the time of enrollment unless there is a documented medical reason.
Woodson PreK site opens Monday-Friday at 6:15 am— 5:15 pm.
Preschool families will need to pay for meals served to children during Kids Korner childcare at the CLC. Breakfast will be available for approximately $3.25 and lunch for about $5.65 daily. (Rate will be determined later this summer by the state.) You may choose to purchase meals at these rates, or your child is welcome to bring meals from home.
Please note: Under Minnesota’s Free School Meals for Kids law, PreK students receive free meals only during their school day—breakfast for morning students and lunch for afternoon students. Those meals will continue to be provided at no cost to families.
