Preschool in Pauls Valley OK

Introduction to Our Preschool & Early Education Program

The years between ages 2 and 5 are full of growth, learning, and exploration. Children in this stage are developing independence, curiosity, and important social skills that set the stage for lifelong success. At Sallys Kinder Kare, our preschool, pre-k, and early education programs are designed to nurture children through these formative years.



Since 1988, families across Pauls Valley have trusted us to provide structured, nurturing child care. With a 4-star rating in Oklahoma’s child care quality system and a dedicated staff of CDA-certified teachers, we combine play-based learning with early academics to prepare children for kindergarten. Parents choose us because we balance safety, education, and fun in every classroom.

Why Preschool Matters

Enrolling a child in preschool is more than a convenience—it’s an investment in their future. Studies show that high-quality preschool programs improve language development, problem-solving skills, and school readiness. Children in structured early learning programs are more confident when entering kindergarten and often perform better academically throughout their school years.


At Sallys Kinder Kare, our preschool program supports:


  • Language Development: Expanding vocabulary and communication through songs, stories, and conversations.
  • Early Math Skills: Introducing counting, patterns, and problem-solving through hands-on play.
  • Social Growth: Practicing cooperation, sharing, and teamwork.
  • Emotional Confidence: Helping children express themselves and build independence.

School Readiness: Teaching routines, listening skills, and pre-literacy concepts to prepare for kindergarten.
