Welcome to
Cactus Wren Preschool!
Cactus Wren Cooperative Preschool was established in 1979 and is one of the oldest preschools in Sierra Vista. As a non-profit organization, it fills a community need by offering an affordable, positive social experience for preschool children and their families. Cactus Wren is a secular, play-based preschool, focused on hands-on learning.
The school is run by a dedicated staff and parent volunteers, who serve as executive board members, classroom volunteers, and in a variety of other roles.
