A Barn, A Vision, A Legacy

In the 1960s, Ms. Barbara dreamed of more than just socialization for young children. So she and her husband turned their barn into Buttons & Bows Preschool.

More than 55 years later, her warm, music-rich and academic approach continues — with strong family connections at the heart of everything we do.

More Than a Preschool

Children rotate through three specialized learning centers, balancing structure and creativity in short, focused sessions. Our small class sizes and experienced teachers ensure each child is known, supported, and celebrated.
