We make learning fun! Children who attend our program will have a multi-faceted learning experience so that they can discover their strengths with positive support and grow into the amazing little humans they are meant to be. Our evidence-based curriculum allows little learners to paint, write their name, build towers, count, grow veggies, spend time with a book, take in nature, taste new snacks, write, pretend, sing, and dance! They'll be ready for Kindergarten intellectually, physically and socially.

How We
Got Here

Small Town Hope Preschool was started in 2015. That makes the 2023-2024 school year our 9th year of educating young children in the Northern Cambria Area! Each year, Small Town Hope strives to improve and grow its preschool program to offer the best learning experiences to our enrolled children. Quality lessons and curriculum prepare your preschooler to meet important goals and to ensure development at the right pace. Our preschool program continues to be a wonderful journey and we're so proud of where it has led us. 

What We're
Up To Now

Learning, learning, and more learning! Our teachers and tiny minds are working hard to wrap up the 2022-2023 school year. It's been a fantastic one! We're enhancing learning with more special experiences than ever, including a visit by a local author! We even have our own Blue House Book Club that supplies books to our children so they can read at home. As a sweet bonus, Spring's sunny days are gifting us with warmth to play outside and strengthen gross motor skills. Bodies and minds are growing and thriving! It won't be long before we are preparing for our Graduation Ceremony! 

Looking Ahead
to the Future

We are currently enrolling for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Please call 814-420-8362 if you are interested in enrolling your little one in our program. We'd love to have you as part of our preschool family.  

Our program is enhanced by use of evidence-based, kid-friendly curriculum. Kiddos learn through  an immersive, hands-on approach. The curiosity of the children steers the way, so our students are always engaged!

The Ones Who Shape Little Minds

Our Preschool Team is comprised of three credentialed, creative and committed Teachers. They make learning fun while modeling kindness and  seizing  every opportunity for teachable moments.
