After briefly mentioning the Dakota language preschool program at Pezihutazizi in Minnesota, the impetus for the article, we survey available information about other programs. We first examine the two oldest and best-known programs of the last 20 years: Kohanga Reo in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Punana Leo in Hawai'i. Next we look at existing programs in the mainland United States, focusing in particular on the Arapaho preschools in Wyoming. Then we mention other relevant early childhood programs in North America, including a number in Alaska and Canada. To conclude we outline some of the major issues involved in setting up a preschool immersion program in an Indigenous community.
