  • Welcome to CEO Preschool

    Center of Economic Ownership Preschool
    • Generation of Leaders

      At CEO we would like to begin to develop the new generation of Leaders and Entrepreneurs. Our position is to inspire them to open their own businesses in the communities in which they reside.

    • Economic Principles

      We believe if we teach them economic principles as children, it will carry them through life where they will ultimately be a part of the global market.

    • The Whole Child: Body & Mind

      Our concept addresses the whole child. The whole child includes not only principles of wealth but more importantly health.

    • Ready to Take on the World

      Our program includes nutritional education (ex: we will eat Vegan on Fridays); physical education, exposure to celebrate diversity on all levels (ethnicity, culture, religion and diversity of thought) all within our academic setting.

  • CEO Preschool is a child care center that is focused on the whole child, mentally, physically, and economically.

    Here at the school we are not babysitters or daycare providers, we are more along the lines of being trendsetters in the childcare space. Our staff focuses on bringing the best out of your child, implanting the seeds in them from the beginning of their educational experiences.

    If a preschooler can learn how to use a smartphone without anyone teaching them why can’t they learn the basic concepts of the bartering system.

    Which means: You give me something then I give you something back in return for the value of what you gave me.

    That’s business 101. That’s the culture at CEO.
