Cardinal Place is the before/after school program located within the Willmar Public Schools. We currently have three sites – at Kennedy Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and Lakeland Elementary School.
School Readiness preschool is a program for families with children 3 to 5 years old. Parents do not attend class with their child. However, they are required to be involved with the program. Many opportunities are available for families.
The mission of Willmar Community Education is to support and encourage lifelong learning in areas of academics, enrichment, personal growth, and wellness activities. Willmar Community Education strives to meet the needs of area residents and surrounding communities through collaboration, partnerships and non-duplication of services.
