Preschool

Our preschool program is designed to establish early learning and provide young learners with the foundation they need to be successful throughout their school careers. Our program has a long-standing tradition of encouraging the growth and learning of children through play and exploration. Our program provides opportunities for this learning to take place in a safe, fun, and Christ-centered environment. A typical day in our program consists of circle time, centers, snack, core subjects, religion, lunch, nap/rest time, enrichment, special classes, and recess. We offer both a half-day and full-day program, as well as a part-time or full-time program.

​

Our older preschool class utilizes the Early Learning Matters curriculum by Purdue, while our younger preschool class utilizes the Learning Without Tears curriculum. Classroom learning centers are changed to match the week’s theme and guest speakers are invited to come and share when they are applicable. Field trips are taken when they are able to enhance the learning of the theme that week. Students become fully immersed in the week’s theme through song, dance, dramatic play, dress-up, and exploration.

​

Our preschoolers are considered a valued part of our school and therefore participate in as many parts of the school as they can. They attend special classes (library, PE, art, music, and Spanish). They participate in school programs, performances, convocations, announcements, and even eventually attend school Mass when they are ready. Daily communication is provided to parents as well as a weekly newsletter as we know the great importance of communication at the preschool level.
