The Pagoda Hill Kindergarten opened in January 1883. It was run by Miss Mary Alice Phelps; her father, Coridon B. Phelps owned Pagoda Hill at the time. By 1884, they needed more room, and moved to 1513 Telegraph (before 1912 renumbering) at the corner of 21st Street. In 1886, they moved the school back to Pagoda Hill.
It's unknown when the school closed. References appear as late as 1887. 1
