Preschool and day care

Three community preschools
Two community preschools called "Tigerland" are operated by our Battle Ground Community Education program. One is on the campus of Captain Strong Primary, 1002 N.W. Sixth Ave., Battle Ground. The other is on the Yacolt Primary campus, northeast of Battle Ground. The third community preschool is at Prairie High School. All are for children ages 3-5.
