    About Us

    A Place Where Little Fish Flourish

    At Lil Guppies Preschool, we believe every child is a unique little fish, full of potential waiting to surface. Our program blends structured learning with creative play, helping your guppy build the skills and confidence they need to swim into a bright future.

    Safe Harbor

    A warm, welcoming cove where every child feels secure, valued, and ready to dive into learning.

    Small School

    With a limited class size, each little fish gets the individual attention and care they deserve.

    Playful Currents

    Learning flows naturally through exploration, creativity, and hands-on discovery.

    Curious Explorers

    We nurture wonder and spark a lifelong love of learning in every child who swims through our doors.

    🏠Anchored in the heart of our community, inside the welcoming space of the United Methodist Church in Benton City.

    Your Teacher

    Meet Alexis Schatz

    I'm Alexis, captain of Lil Guppies Preschool, with years of hands-on early childhood experience rooted in play-based learning. As a professional photographer, I spend much of my time working with kids, and that eye for who they really are carries into the warm environment I create in the classroom.

    I believe the early years are the most precious tide for learning and growth. My approach blends structured education with plenty of play, creativity, and love. Every child in my classroom is treated like family, part of our little school of fish.

    When I'm not teaching, you'll find me behind a camera! As a professional photographer, I love capturing milestone moments, which means your little guppy's preschool memories will be beautifully documented throughout the year. 📸
