Benton Community Preschool Programming
"A child's education is shaped by three key influences: their teacher, their peers, and the learning environment around them."
At Benton Community School District's preschool program, we set the foundation for each child's educational journey.
Designed for our youngest learners, children ages 3 and 4 can begin learning with us in a supportive and rewarding environment. Join the Bobcat family, a Place to Belong.
