A group of parents founded Heritage Presbyterian Preschool in 1994 in two Sunday School classrooms. Since 2008 we have taught in purpose-built classrooms in the newer wing of Heritage Presbyterian Church in Mason, and we are licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. We use Creative Curriculum to weave early reading, math and social skills into play, and every class gets daily time on our large outdoor playground or in the church's full-size gymnasium. Classes stay small, with two teachers for every 12 to 14 children. Three-year-olds attend mornings three days a week, 4-year-olds choose three or four mornings, our Manatees multiage class for 3s and 4s meets three afternoons, and the Starfish Kindergarten Transition class meets five afternoons for children who are kindergarten age but not quite ready. Monthly tuition for 2026-27 runs from $250 to $300, and a one-hour extended session is offered three days a week. Each week children attend chapel and a music and movement class, and once a month they visit our in-house children's library for story time. The Cincinnati Zoo, Cincinnati Museum Center and Mason Fire Department bring programs into class.

Mason City Schools started its preschool in response to a 1992 federal mandate requiring districts to serve 3- to 5-year-olds with disabilities, and from the start we chose an integrated model. Each multi-age classroom at the Mason Early Childhood Center on Hickory Woods Drive blends children with identified special needs and typically developing peers. The curriculum follows Ohio's Early Learning and Development Standards. Each day mixes whole-group, small-group and individual instruction with center-based activities, time in a motor room and outdoor play, and classes are balanced by age span and gender. Preschool meets Monday through Thursday in either a morning session (9:20 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.) or an afternoon session (1:05 to 3:50 p.m.), assigned by home address. Children must be 3 and live in the district. Typically developing peers enter through an annual lottery and pay monthly tuition, and they must be toilet trained.
