Preschool Enrollment
Clear Creek Amana preschool provides a rich learning environment that encourages children’s natural curiosity and supports them to take risks that lead to new skill development. It is a setting where children feel safe, respected, and cared for. This is an opportunity for children to take part in planned, active learning experiences to build their school readiness skills.
Our preschool program has adopted and meets the Iowa Quality Preschool Program Standards, administered by the Iowa Department of Education. The Iowa Early Learning Standards are used to guide expectations for the children and instructional practices. The Clear Creek Amana FREE Preschool program is funded through Statewide Voluntary Preschool, with no cost to families. Preschool provides opportunities for children to develop important learning skills.
We offer a morning or afternoon preschool program complete with assessment protocols, snacks, and large and small motor development.
Requests for a specific building and morning or afternoon sessions will be reviewed by building administrators and notice of placement will be communicated later in the spring. The Clipper Early Childhood Academy located at 415 Deer View Avenue is open for the 2024-2025 school year. North Bend Elementary and Tiffin Elementary preschool programs will shift to the Clipper Early Childhood Academy. If you live in Johnson County, follow the instructions with this School Finder tool to find the attendance center your child will be assigned to for Kindergarten. If you live in Iowa County, please use this link for Iowa County boundary information.
Parents can select if they want school transportation during the registration process. Students have the option for bus transportation to and from designated neighborhood stops, homes and, to the best of our ability, to currently licensed daycares operating within our district. Per state requirements, CCA schools are not permitted to bus outside of our school boundaries. Bus stops and routes will be determined in late summer after the bulk of all student registrations are complete.
