School readiness is built on the foundation of support that nurtures each child's unique characteristics, knowledge, and skills, equipping them for long-term success. It encompasses essential aspects of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development—each playing a crucial role in preparing children for a smooth transition from early learning to kindergarten and beyond. At Viking Preschool, our dedicated staff are committed to fostering these critical areas, ensuring that every child is well-prepared and confident as they take their next educational steps.
Located in Viking Elementary and taught by licensed teachers, Viking Preschool is offered at no cost to Pelican Rapids District residents. Our program now includes free mid-day transportation to licensed daycares.
