Early Childhood Education (Pre-K)

Boise School District provides high-quality early childhood education for children ages 3–5 through its Owyhee and Lincoln Early Learning Centers. These programs are designed to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning by supporting early academics, social-emotional growth, and kindergarten readiness in inclusive, engaging environments. Through play-based learning, individualized instruction, and strong family partnerships, students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. Both centers offer general education preschool as well as Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) services, ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive.
