Hope Waukee Preschool

At Hope Waukee’s Preschool, our program incorporates active learning with knowledgeable teachers and friends in a fun, Jesus-filled environment.  Our preschool teaches children about Jesus and his never-ending love for each of us. We encourage children as they experience the rewards of making a friend, and the joy of being one!
