Caledonia Community Schools is excited to invite families to attend its “PreK – Here I Come!” Open House, designed to introduce families to early learning opportunities that will be offered in every CCS elementary school beginning in the 2026–27 school year.
While PreK and Young Fives programming will expand to each elementary school next year, the PreK open house will be held at both the Duncan Lake Early Childhood Center and Dutton Elementary to allow families to experience established classrooms, meet early childhood educators, and see what the program will look and feel like when it launches districtwide.
Families may attend either session:
- Thursday, February 26 | 4:15–5:45 PM
- Friday, February 27 | 9:00–11:00 AM
- At Duncan Lake Early Childhood Center & Dutton Elementary
Families will have the opportunity to learn how PreK and Young Fives will be offered in their neighborhood elementary school for the 2026–27 school year and ask questions about enrollment, programming, and next steps. The event is intended for families who are exploring preschool and early learning options and want to learn what makes CCS a strong start for young learners.
We look forward to welcoming you and your future CAL learner!
