ISD 279 - Osseo Area Schools Community Education

Welcome! Osseo Area Schools Early Childhood & Family Education offers a variety of affordable Preschool and PreK programs designed to support your child's development, and create a foundation for your child's future academic, emotional and social success. Our curriculum and activities focus on building confidence, independence, academic, and social skills so your child enters kindergarten ready to continue learning and has received a 4-STAR (highest rating) from Parent Aware. Due to COVID-19, our Preschool/PreK/Parent Connection classes aligned with the district, and are currently following a hybrid learning model.

We are currently accepting online applications for the 2020-21 school year in our Preschool/PreK program. Registrations will remain in a pending status until all registration requirements have been received (birth certificate, immunizations, proof of income). Classes with openings are filled first come-first serve and registration is continuous year-round. 

State funded scholarships are available.  If you’re awarded the scholarship, it will cover your child’s tuition for the entire school year.  Please call 763-585-7330 to learn more about this opportunity.  

Please connect with us at ecfe@district279.org or 763-391-8777 if you have questions or need assistance with online registration.
