Why choose St. Patrick’s Pre-K?
Our Pre-K program is for children ages 3 to 5 who are not yet enrolled in kindergarten. We have a truly academic-based Pre-K program that is intended to prepare students for Kindergarten by learning about Jesus, learning to recognize and write numbers, letters, and other reading and math skills, in addition to various science and social studies topics. Students participate in both teacher-led and independent play centers in the morning and again in the afternoon. There is a 30 minute rest period after lunch. Pre-K classes participate in specials including Music, Art, PE, and Library. Full day students have two 30 minute outdoor recess periods daily, weather permitting.
We offer flexible schedules including half and full day options. Full days are from 8:30-3, and half days are from 8:30-12. We offer both before and after school care programs for a separate fee.
Students MUST be potty-trained prior to admission. Please discuss any concerns with your child’s teacher.
