Where little minds grow their wings.
Chrysalis is a literacy-focused preschool and kindergarten in a sunny, restored home in downtown Provo. With six students per class, every child is known, challenged, and celebrated — most learn to read within their first six months.
A big head start, in a small setting.
Our goal each day is simple: every child feels good about themselves, learns something new, and feels challenged.
Small Class Sizes
Every class is limited to a six-student maximum so each child gets real, individual attention from their teacher.
Literacy-Focused
Letter recognition, writing, phonics and blending are taught in fun, memorable ways — using books Miss Wendy wrote and illustrated.
Music Education
Kids discover the joy of singing together — and how music becomes a powerful tool for remembering what they learn.
Positive Environment
Kindness, sharing and confidence are practiced daily in a warm, welcoming home that truly feels like a second family.
A class for every stage
of the journey.

Families say it best.
Chrysalis preschool provides excellent academic preparation with personalized loving attention. My children have had such an advantage starting kindergarten because of Miss Wendy. I honestly think it is the best preschool and has been such a blessing in our lives!
Wendy brings a depth of compassion and creativity to the classroom. She opens the children’s minds and creates a love within them for learning and exploration.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. Miss Wendy and Chrysalis Preschool ARE that village!
“Chrysalis was born out of the need for a preschool in Provo.”
Miss Wendy started Chrysalis more than two decades ago with a newborn in her arms and her three-year-old learning at her feet. She holds a BS in Elementary Education from UVU and an MEd from BYU — and she created and illustrated the curriculum and books our children read every day.
Our school has grown, but our goal hasn’t changed: teach children important skills in small groups, with amazing, highly skilled teachers who care deeply.
