Enrollment is open to Columbiana County residents Ages 3 5 years old. The school year is nine months long.

Why Preschool? Educational studies indicate that the earlier a child can participate in a structured learning opportunity the better the chances of success. Providing learning opportunities for our community's younger children is priority for the ESC.

Miss O'Donnell made a comment to a group of students one day about how nice it would be to have a bench outside of her office.  Little did she know that 4th grader, Samara Martin, would take her idea and run with it!  Over several months, Samara and her grandfather, Mr. James R. Berg, handcrafted a beautiful bench for Miss O to place outside of her office.  Many thanks to Samara and Mr. Berg for their time, effort, and thoughtfulness, in providing this beautiful gift to our school!
