PRE-KINDERGARTEN

The goal for the Pre-K class is to ensure school readiness with an active and fun, yet structured environment. A foundation for respect, communication, cooperation and learning from one another is the basis for each day. 

A robust academic environment is implemented with the A Beka curriculum for Phonics, Math, Writing, Science and Language Arts. Health, manners, and character training add to the development of the whole child. Activities involving creative thinking and decision making help nurture a lifelong interest in learning. Religion is incorporated into all areas of the curriculum, with Religion class using the Allelu curriculum by Our Sunday Visitor. 

Pre-K students also enjoy Music, Art, P.E., Computer, STEM and Library classes. Two outside recess times, a half hour rest period, snack and lunch round out the day.

The Pre-Kindergarten class meets daily from 9:00–3:25, with busing available for transportation. Class size is limited to 14 students, ages 4- to 5-years old. The children in Pre-K wear regular street clothes, in regulation with our policy. Please refer to our handbook for additional information.
