PlaySchool, Tot Time and NEW! KINDER-PREP Preschool Programs 
The City of Mountain View Recreation Division Preschool Program provides a recreation-based preschool program designed for preschool age children who are interested in gaining a true preschool experience. Our curriculum encourages age appropriate growth for each child to learn at their won pace through project time, indoor and outdoor play, circle time, play games and listen to stories. The curriculum includes fine and gross motor skills, cognitive, social physical and emotional skills essential for their future success. The school year starts in September and ends in early June. For more information, about the program, please contact Mary Freeman at (650) 903-6408.
