Pre-Kindergarten Curriculum
Our Preschool program is designed to develop the skills needed for school, faith and life skills readiness. Our program helps children develop their fine and gross motor skills, approve their language and communication abilities, and exercise their creativity. Play during the early childhood years has a significant role in a child's cognitive, social, and physical development. During play, children acquire many of the prerequisite skills that contribute to successful learning. Therefore, our play-based program focuses on weekly themes while incorporating mathematics, language skills, reading readiness, and social skills. Our curriculum focuses on the state standard foundations for early childhood development. A Catholic education develops personal worth, while helping children work and play happily with others. This encourages loving others and increases self-discipline. Each day begins and ends with a prayer, as well as prayers before snack and lunch.
