Plumfield Pre-School & Kindergarten opened in 1972 and is now is helping a second generation get a head start with the basics to succeed.
Currently under the ownership and direction of Kim Cordoba, Kim has a long history with Plumfield; beginning as a 2½ year old toddler and continuing through to her Kindergarten graduation.
After completing a BS in Business Management, Kim received her Early Childhood Education certificate and now proudly carries on the Plumfield tradition of providing excellence in education for young children.
The philosophy of Plumfield Pre-School & Kindergarten is to provide an exciting learning environment that fosters positive self esteem and focuses on the development of the whole child, socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically.
Plumfield Pre-School & Kindergarten recognizes that children learn best through play.
Therefore, the curriculum has been designed with an age appropriate learning environment that recognizes the individual needs of each child and his/her natural curiosity for learning.
As a pre-school/kindergarten, Plumfield tailors its program to young children from 2 ½ to 6 years of age.
All children must be potty trained prior to enrollment. We do not discriminate based upon sex, ethnicity or religion. We foster the uniqueness brought by each child.
