Florence Twp. School District Preschool Program

September 2026
From the Supervisor
Welcome, preschool families! I am so excited to welcome you and your children to the Florence Township Preschool Program. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning, growth, discovery, and lots of fun!
This year, we are excited to introduce several new initiatives as we continue to strengthen our preschool program. One area of focus will be study-based vocabulary, helping children develop meaningful language and vocabulary connected to their classroom studies and experiences. We will also be working toward creating a more consistent preschool experience across all four of our locations, while continuing to recognize and support the unique needs of each classroom and community.
Our goal is to provide every child with a high-quality, engaging, and developmentally appropriate preschool experience, no matter which location they attend.
As the school year begins and continues, please visit the Florence Township School District website and look under “Schools” → “Preschool” for important information, announcements, resources, and upcoming dates.
We can't wait to see all of our preschoolers on September 3rd! Please remember that the first day is an early dismissal day.
We are so excited for the year ahead and look forward to partnering with our families throughout the school year. Welcome to Florence Township Preschool—we are so glad you are here! 💙💛
