Pre-School

The four and five-year-olds in our Pre-K & TK programs are given an introduction to the structured classroom, with preschool-style fun and discovery. Our Before and After School Program offers flexible hours like a daycare. While comparable in hours to other Iowa City preschools or Iowa City daycares, Heritage stands unique in its low cost for a full, or partial, day of care and education for a child.

Our Goal:

The goal of Heritage Pre-Kindergarten is to create a conducive environment for students to learn about God, themselves and their surroundings, while acquiring vital foundational skills and knowledge for a continual life of learning, exploration, investigation, experimentation and discovery. Our mission at Heritage is to lay a solid foundation for our students on which the rest of life is built. Time is a priceless commodity. It is our desire to assist parents in using this year to its greatest extent!

Heritage is introducing the Transitional Kindergarten program beginning the 2026-27 school year. The goal of our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program is similar to the the PreK program but is designed specifically for students who meet age requirements (must be 5 years old on or before September 15) and are preparing for Kindergarten the following school year. This is a full-day program rather than the partial day offered in PreK.
