Welcome!

Valley View Preschool is a part time preschool in the heart of Kalispell, Montana.  Our focus is developing social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills through play. We serve preschool age children (2-5). We are also proud to be launching a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Program & Kindergarten Program.  

We strive to partner with and empower our families. You as the parent are your child’s first and best teacher.

We provide high quality, and hands on learning experiences to set a strong foundation for learning as children progress to the next stage of life, public school, private school or home school .  We believe children are competent, capable and uniquely made individuals. It’s our job to provide them with an environment where they feel secure, confident, and empowered!

We believe that play matters and is necessary in early childhood.  We provide intentional learning opportunities in the environment

Meet the Owner and Lead Educator: Mrs. Alicia

Hi! My name is Alicia Simmons and I started Valley View Preschool in September 2021.  Starting my own preschool program has been a dream of mine for a while.  I am a wife and mother to four children. My family and I moved to Kalispell, Montana in December 2020 all the way from North Carolina.  It was a huge change for us, but I knew working for myself was something I was being called to do about six months after we moved here.  I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development, Birth-Kindergarten teaching license and 15 years of early childhood experience.  I truly have a passion for young children and am thankful to have the opportunity to serve your family in my preschool program!  I am onsite daily and teach the Pre-K Classes and Play Group Classes.

Play is serious learning.  Play is really the work of childhood.

- Fred Rogers

Our preschool classes will have:

Hands on experiences, free play exploration, & outdoor play
