Cub Kids is a fee-based preschool program held from 8:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on school days and follows the New London-Spicer School District calendar*. Tuition is billed monthly on the 15th, with the option for families to pre-pay if they prefer not to commit to a single larger monthly payment.

Our program is led by MN licensed teachers who are READ Act certified, and supported by highly qualified paraprofessionals who meet the guidelines outlined by the MN Department of Education. All staff are trained in First Aid, AED, and CPR, ensuring a safe, supportive learning environment for every child. Through developmentally appropriate instruction, intentional daily practice, and individualized support, Cub Kids focuses on nurturing the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. We believe all children deserve a safe place to grow, be challenged, and thrive. By honoring the unique strengths and needs of each group of learners, we make it our personal mission that no child starts behind and that children enter Kindergarten confident, capable, curious, and exceptionally prepared to succeed. *Cub Kids follows the New London-Spicer School District calendar, with the exception of Election Day, when there is no preschool in session.
