Parent Board and Resources

The Johnstown Milliken Preschool is dedicated to providing a structured learning environment through a curriculum that develops children’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language abilities. As a District, we believe that by offering an effective early childhood program, including full-day kindergarten, focused on alignment, coherency, and continuity of programming, we are providing students with a pathway of opportunity to foster lifelong learners who are prepared for the future.
We strive to provide families and children a safe, caring and nurturing learning environment.
