Dayton resident Lacy Nichols will open Hogeye Hollow Preschool near Dayton on Monday, October 7. A graduate of Washington State University with a B.A. in Elementary Education, and a Special Education endorsement, Nichols has eight years of teaching experience.

Hogeye Hollow Preschool will be open to families residing in Columbia County whose income or other factors do not meet the ECEAP qualification requirements through Dayton School District.

The preschool is located seven miles out of Dayton on a mini farm, where children get the opportunity to interact with animals and receive learning experiences through real life, hands on experiences, and outdoor play!

Hogyeye Hollow Preschool is private, meaning that the preschool is not licensed through the state and there are no ties whatsoever with the state and their requirements. In order to run as a private preschool, the requirement entails that a teacher is with one group of children no longer than four hours per day.
