Welcome!

Welcome to Precious Children in the Highlands Preschool (PCH Preschool)! We are honored that you are considering us to care for your little one(s). Our mission is to provide a nurturing, high-quality environment where children can thrive.

Founded by Julie Laursen in November 2007, PCH Preschool has been serving children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. We are proud of all of our accomplishments, including receiving accreditation from the National Accreditation Commission (NAC) in 2011.

As a previously NAC Accredited center, we uphold the highest standards in early care and education. Our program fosters individual growth, provides professional development for staff, and exceeds state licensing requirements. While we are working toward reaccreditation, we remain committed to excellence.

Thank you for considering PCH Preschool—we look forward to partnering with you in your child’s early education.
