Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District Preschool was officially established in 1973. We started with just one preschool class and one teacher for children age 3-4, offered as part of the Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District.
Over the past 40 years, we have blossomed from these humble beginnings. Now we have 12 experienced teachers on staff, over 150 preschool students, age 1 year 6 months through 5 years, and 2 campus locations: Pleasant Hill Winslow center and Pleasant Hill Community Center. We have flourished into the comprehensive preschool program you will find today.
Pleasant Hill Recreation Preschool is a part time recreational preschool program exempt from licensing. All of our staff are certified in CPR, 1st Aid and are fingerprinted through the Department of Justice.
