School Overview

The **Deephaven Education Center**, located in Excelsior, Minnesota, is a specialized facility operating under the **Minnetonka Public Schools** (District 276). Rather than serving as a traditional K-12 school, the center functions as a hub for the district’s early childhood programming and community education initiatives. It is primarily recognized as the home of the Minnetonka Preschool, which provides a structured and nurturing environment designed to foster early academic and social development for children in the surrounding community.

In addition to its preschool offerings, the facility serves as a vital resource for lifelong learning and family support within the Minnetonka district. By housing early childhood family education (ECFE) programs, the center acts as a gathering place for families to engage in parent-child activities, educational workshops, and community-building events. Its location near the Deephaven neighborhood makes it a convenient and centralized site for early intervention services, developmental screenings, and preparatory programs that help children transition successfully into the district's elementary school system.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
