• Schedule: Staff offices are open Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm while school is in session
At Little Woodland Preschool, the program follows a mission of nurturing the natural curiosity of children from 6 weeks to 6 years old through a thoughtfully balanced program rooted in Montessori principles, Reggio Emilia-inspired open-ended art, and meaningful time spent in nature. The Montessori foundation at the program includes a focus on independence, hands-on exploration, and respect for each child’s individual learning journey, alongside Reggio Emilia’s emphasis on creativity and expression through open-ended artwork and daily outdoor experiences that include time in nature. The program describes itself as an innovative education option for the whole child, with a focus on child-led exploration and the belief that play is the foundation of learning, in a warm, child-centered environment where learning unfolds naturally. Little Woodland Preschool notes that it offers an immersive environment where students progress through the school and leave with lasting knowledge and self understanding, supported by trained educators who are dedicated to inspiring, guiding, and supporting each child, within a growing family of educators, children, and families who believe in child-centered learning, the magic of play, and the joy of growing together.
Little Woodland Preschool reports that its original location opened in Lake Mills in 2013, that it purchased an already-operating early childhood center in 2020, that its Belleville campus opened in 2021, and that a state-of-the-art Mount Horeb campus opened in April 2025. The program states that it is one of the best preschools in its area with three locations in Lake Mills, Belleville, and Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, and that it is a top rated preschool in Dane and Jefferson County, Wisconsin.
