North End Prep

Fall registration is open to the public on February 14th!

Downtown Prep is the sister school to 5 star rated North End Prep. Our school has teacher student ratios ranging from 1:4-1:6 and with the small class sizes every student is given the attention they need to succeed.

You can go to our website to fill out a registration form and hold your spot today. Once our current families have claimed their spot, we will fill any vacancies in the order applications were received so hop on over to www.downtownprepboise.com right now!
Do not miss registering before spots are filled. We have virtually no movement during the school year so the chance of getting into our school after March 1st is very unlikely.

We use hands on, project and play based learning to teach children everything they need to know to be top in their class come Kindergarten.

Along with academics is a constant social emotional curriculum that teaches kindness, acceptance, and calming strategies.
We utilize being in the heart of the city by exposing our students to all that living in such a vibrant city offers. One day it may be touring the Metro Station on Main street, learning how buses help the environment, taking maps back to the school and seeing where the bus can take us. We may spend the morning in Freak Alley taking silly pictures with art. We may walk to the capitol to take turns ringing the bell and touring the inside. We love to get on the bus to go to the botanical gardens and Eagle Rock Park for the day, or take a field trip to the library or post office to learn more about the services they provide.

This year we are narrowing the age range for each class, giving us the opportunity to let every child learn skills more appropriate for them. We have added a Transitional Kindergarten class that will prepare children to go on to Kindergarten or First Grade depending on their age and readiness.

Our regular school day is from 9am-3pm, with early and late hours from 8am-6pm.
Our current classes offered are
ones and twos
2 1/2- 3 1/2 Class
3 1/2- 4 1/2 Class
Transitional Kindergarten (4 1/2- 5 1/2)

I love this!

A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.

At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.

The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."

May your day be filled with happiness. ❤️

North End Prep's new location, Downtown Prep's new school year starts on Monday, August 29th.
We expanded our classrooms to allow for part time students and we still have a few spots in both our T/TH class for 2 and 3 year olds, and our MWF class for 4 and 5 year olds.
Our part time preschool is from 9am to 1pm. We have earned our 5 star rating by treating each child as an individual. Our learning is always done in a fun, hands on way that is project and interest based.
We challenge kids who are high achievers, work with kids who are struggling one on one, and never give them tasks that they aren't ready for.
We can do this because our ratios are among the smallest in Boise. We have 2 teachers for each class, with a max of 12 students.
