Little Norse Preschool
Welcome to Little Norse Preschool! Housed at Metro North Elementary School, Little Norse is a high-quality preschool that offers the best in early childhood education.
Little Norse Preschool was the first school-based preschool in Wabash County to receive a Paths to Quality rating of Level 3, recognizing our curriculum, investment in our professional development, and our focus on families.
Our Littles create, connect, pretend, explore, sing, dance, and build, all while learning about their world in a developmentally-appropriate way that best prepares them for kindergarten and beyond. Our Littles staff collaborates closely with kindergarten to align curriculum and to ensure the strongest foundations are built. As a Little Norse your child will build relationships with their future teachers and prepare for a successful transition into kindergarten.

Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is now open for children who will be age 3 or 4 by August 1, 2024. Spaces are limited, so families are encouraged to register early.
