It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to MPUSD and to our preschool program.

In this website you will be able to learn about each of the programs offered and will be able to determine which of these options best matches and fulfills the needs of your particular family.

We, at MPUSD, are committed to serving the needs of the community. We are pleased to offer the preschool experience to   families who are seeking high quality preschool experiences for their children.

What better way to begin then start right now through the preschool experience.

As the administrator of the MPUSD Preschool Program I offer my commitment to your child and your family. I look forward to meeting families and beginning the journey of your child's education.
