Buena Vista School offers a half-day prekindergarten with a focus on experiential, nature-based learning. The prekindergarten program supports children's development holistically, helps young learners achieve grade-level literacy by Grade 3, and strengthens our school and community.

Programs will prioritize these criteria and place four-year-old children first.
