Arthouse Preschool is a place that does more than just 'care' for your child-the antithesis of 'warehousing' your child, Arthouse provides an environment that delicately pulls a child along to fulfill all of their potential". -The Mason Family

History
Arthouse Preschool has been open since September of 2006 and was established by Heather Murray and Amanda Recob. Heather and Amanda wanted to provide quality care for children in the community of Waunakee where Heather resides. Heather and Amanda also believe that the arts enhance the development of any age child, especially for the children before they start elementary school. Amanda and Heather have experience with many ages of children and many types of early childhood educational philosophies, including traditional preschool, Montessori and Reggio Emilia.
