Erna Krouch Preschool  


Erna Krouch Preschool openings still available

We're gearing up for another fantastic year...new children, new staff and some shifting of responsibilities. We still have a few openings in most of our classes, but only a few in our 3, 4 and 5 year old classes. We have a number of children who could have gone to Kindergarten this year returning to Erna Krouch for another year.

How wonderful it is when parents opt to give their children a gift of time to allow them to grow and mature, their future school days will prove that it was worth the time. Thank you to all those very supportive Temple friends who continue to see what a real treasure Erna Krouch Preschool is. I am certain that Erna Krouch would be proud to see what her school has become and continues to be, a bridge to the greater Oklahoma City area.
