John Marshall Early Learning Center

Dr. Kati Smith, Principal

Our Mission: At Marshall Early Learning Center, students will be engaged in problem solving, creativity, and exploration in a fun learning environment resulting in a school where student choice and ideas are valued.

Preschool Program

Preschool is a voluntary Title I program which provides developmental school-readiness activities for 4 and 5 year olds. Go to Preschool Pre-Enrollment.

Note to Current Preschool Parents: Parents who have children in the Preschool Program DO NOT have to register their children for kindergarten. Since your child is already in the NNPS school system, his or her school records were transferred to the next zoned school in June. It would be a good idea, however, to contact your zoned school to make sure everything is in order for your child to start kindergarten.
