About
Edina Morningside Preschool in Edina, MN provides a half-day preschool program designed to prepare children for kindergarten through play-based, active learning. Programs operate Monday through Friday with flexible scheduling options: a morning session from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and an extended session from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; extended-session students bring a nut-free lunch from home. The school maintains a low child-to-teacher ratio to support individual attention and strong relationships. The curriculum spans early literacy and numeracy, art, science, and social studies, with frequent opportunities for creativity through art, music, language, and cooking. The environment includes an outdoor playground and indoor space for large-muscle play. Instruction emphasizes the development of the whole child, giving social and emotional growth equal weight alongside cognitive learning and fine- and gross-motor skills. Experienced staff bring training in early childhood development and child psychology, helping children build friendships, collaborate in groups, and develop readiness for the transition to elementary school.
