About

Mudpies & Lullabies Preschool was established in 1996 by owner Anne Williams. Prior to beginning Mudpies, Anne taught as an elementary school teacher in both the Puget Sound and Vancouver, WA areas for eleven years. Today, Mudpies has grown into what we feel to be one of Central Oregon’s preeminent educators of young children ages 3-5. When the doors opened almost 27 years ago, little did we know that someday we would be serving over 120 families in the Bend area.

The biggest factor contributing to our success is the professionalism of our staff. Many of our teachers have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, while others have obtained their endorsements in Early Childhood Education (Please read staff bios!). As a result, we’re confident that Mudpies has the best qualified Preschool staff in Central Oregon.

Qualifications aside, our teachers truly care for the kids; a visitor to the school will leave impressed after observing the interactions and activities between Teacher and child. You’ll find that we are truly “kid-centric”, and love what we do.
