Valley Center Preschool was established in 1975 as a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the development of children socially, mentally, emotionally, and physically. The school is located in First United Methodist Church. A Board of Directors governs the affairs of the Preschool. This Board is made up of representatives from the church and parents of enrolled children.
