Pre Kindergarten

Welcome to the Barre Town Early Education Program!

Our program is a not-for-profit, state licensed pre kindergarten program located at the Barre Town Middle and Elementary School. We have four classrooms located on the first floor of our school building, directly across the hall from the kindergarten classrooms.

You can learn more about our Program by reading our

Pre-Kindergarten Handbook.

NOTE: The Barre Unified Union School District is looking into transitioning to an online registration system for Prekindergarten for the 2020-2021 school year. Please reach out to Lauren May at lmaybsu@buusd.org for more information on registering your child for public Pre-K or to access Act 166 funds.

Pre-Kindergarten students enjoy access to the school gymnasium and a large outdoor space with age-appropriate playground equipment where our young children can play, explore, and discover. The Barre Town Early Education Program has earned five stars in Vermont’s Step Ahead Recognition System (STARS), which means that are rated as “outstanding in all five (practice) areas.”
