Preschool & Toddlers

Come play, explore, and discover together! The City of San Marcos offers two early childhood programs designed to meet families right where they are.

Raggedy Ann & Andy Preschool gives children a classic preschool experience that blends early learning with lots of hands-on fun—think arts and crafts, music and movement, storytelling, and outdoor play—while building social skills and confidence along the way.

For our youngest learners, Toddler Time is a parent-participation class that introduces ages 18 months to 3 years to socialization and early learning through simple, engaging activities like music, movement, crafts, and story time. Whether your child is ready for preschool or just getting started, there’s a welcoming place to learn and have fun together.

Children must be fully potty trained to participate in the RAA preschool program.
