Mission
Bemidji Area Schools Early Childhood Program is based on the idea that parents provide their child’s first and most significant learning environment. The parents are children’s first and most enduring teachers. Early Childhood Programs work to support you as a parent/caregiver and to strengthen and empower families. The goal is to enhance the ability of all parents and other family members to provide the best possible environments for their child's learning and development.
