Description: Pre-School & Pre-K programs offered in full and half day sessions for all children aged 2 1/2 to 6 years old. A true learning center with a Back to Basics approach, owned & operated by certified teachers. An experience that will give children a realistic advantage for the many school years ahead of them. Please come visit The Fords Schoolhouse & see how we work, play & learn. A good school to visit, a better school to attend & the best place to learn. We are so very proud & grateful that we have been fortunate to retain the same staff at The Fords Schoolhouse since we opened our doors and started teaching & having fun back in 2007. This great asset allows both students & thier parents an assurance & trust in knowing that both will be encountering & dealing with the same mature teachers & assistant teachers that will be working each & every day with your child throughout his or her school year. This helps to ensure that each child's learning experience is the best it can be.
