Three Rivers Day School

Three Rivers Day School, located at 576 Theater Road in Onalaska, Wisconsin, is a unique institution that blends the best of alternative pedagogies to holistically care for and educate the whole child. Our mission is to provide a joyful, respectful, developmentally-appropriate, holistic, play-based early childhood and academic experience.

At Three Rivers Day School, we believe that children need autonomy and responsibility, and we aim to instill a deep love of learning from their first day with us. We prioritize play as a form of learning and believe that learning should be playful. Our program allows for developmentally appropriate best practices, play, and socialization in mixed age groups during typical working hours.

We offer half-day enrollments for 3K, 4K, and kindergarten, as well as full-day programming with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Surround care, meals, snacks, and school supplies are included in all tuition fees. Our goal is to provide an exceptional quality, holistic, secular day school experience to children in the Onalaska and La Crosse areas, from the earliest years through elementary school.

At Three Rivers Day School, we understand the value of play-based early childhood care and education and strive to inspire a joyful love of learning in all our students. We believe that the outdoors offer limitless potential to young children, providing a space for relaxation, inspiration, and imaginative exploration.

Join us at Three Rivers Day School as we set the standard for excellence in education and help your child grow into the brightest future possible. We share information on early childhood education and research, including best practices, each month to ensure that grown-ups are always learning too. Come grow with us and experience the transformative power of a play-based education!
