Once Upon a Time:  The Aemilian Preschool Story

The Aemilian Preschool started more than 50 years ago as a resource for families who wanted a full day learning environment for their children. Though we’ve always worked to foster independence and a love of learning in children ages 2-5, we have come a long way since we opened our doors. Our high-quality early childhood program provides developmentally appropriate experiences in a warm, nurturing and safe environment. Our teachers, all with four year degrees in early childhood education plan stimulating hands-on educational activities that enrich the cognitive, social, emotional, physical and creative development of each child.

Accredited by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) since 1993, we adhere to the highest standards that represent the mark of quality in early childhood education.  The Aemilian Preschool is a private, non-profit, non-sectarian preschool that maintains a 5-star, Youngstar rating with the State of Wisconsin.

Core Values

Every member of our faculty and staff has agreed to these six guiding principles that engage our passion of working with your children. They define what we believe, dictate our behavior and determine our business decisions.

EDUCATION: We believe in the power of play and natural learning experiences to help even the youngest children gain knowledge and understanding of the world in which they live
SERVICE: We are committed to creating a stable, nurturing community where children learn the value of helping others.
PASSION: We meet each day and each interaction with children and families with enthusiasm and compassion.
EXCELLENCE: We strive to meet the diverse learning needs of each child through rich knowledge of their interests and developmental abilities.
COMMUNICATION: We value parents as partners and work to provide clear, consistent communication between the school and home.
RESPECT: We strive to practice and teach acceptance of all individuals, instilling in our community a rich respect for all families.
