Local Daycare and Preschool Programs
We have decided to list all known available programs, regardless of licensing status. Our goal is to connect families to possibilities. We encourage parents to do their due diligence in researching programs and to make the decisions that feel best for their families. To learn about the state licensing status of each program, research them at Provider Search. Only programs licensed with the state of Montana are eligible for Best Beginnings Scholarships.
While we always recommend checking with providers directly, some may have their open enrollment status listed at Kinside.

Getting to Know the
Childcare and Preschool Professionals
of Park County Video Series
Early childhood is a defining period, shaped by the everyday care and learning experiences children receive. In Park County, early childhood teachers show up every day with dedication, compassion, and a deep commitment to the children and families they serve. Their day-to-day work often goes unnoticed, but their impact lasts a lifetime.​ This video series is a way to recognize and honor those educators. Our coordinator has been sitting down with local preschool and daycare providers to listen to their stories, learn about their programs, and highlight the care, intention, and passion they bring to their classrooms each day.
​
These are the people who nurture curiosity, build confidence, and create safe, supportive spaces where children can grow and thrive. We’re proud to share their voices and celebrate the meaningful work they do for our community.
​
Watch the videos to meet these incredible educators and learn more about the programs they’ve built for Park County families.
If you run a preschool or daycare and would like to be featured in this series, we would love to connect with you. Please reach out to amanda.johnstone@onechc.org
