                               Early Childhood Education and Care



Lewiston Altura Mini Cardinals   

The Lewiston -Altura Early Childhood program provides experiences in  an educational environment with routines, schedules, and activities following  Creative Curriculum guiding principles.  This is not a strict school based setting, but a play inspired, child led learning setting that promotes independence, confidence,  growth, and fun! 
   We understand that for many children, this is the first time in a classroom or away from familiar caregivers and are here to support families and their children in this transition for a positive school experience.  Licensed teachers provide daily activities to give the children opportunities to grow socially, emotionally, and physically while developing a life long desire to learn.


We are now a combined Early Childhood Education and Cardinal Care program that continues to offer 4-Star Parent Aware rated preschool programming with an extended day option for children between the ages 33 months and 5 years. Quality, seamless, developmentally appropriate education and care is available from 7am  to 5pm
We are offering half day preschool classes and Cardinal Club care for a full day of care.  options include 3 or 5 x a week for all ages.



The preschool schedule follows the district calendar for holidays and weather related closings. Full day programming may be offered on no school days and is included in the monthly fee.
