Preschool is an exciting time for young learners. Mahtomedi Area Preschool (MAP) helps prepare students for the world of kindergarten. MAP takes 3-5-year-olds through daily activities to strengthen social-emotional, physical, and cognitive development. The curriculum features exploration and discovery as a way of learning.
