Here are some key highlights of our new Pre-K program:

1. Catholic Values Integration

Our Pre-K curriculum will incorporate Catholic teachings, fostering a foundation of faith, love, and compassion from the very beginning of your child’s educational journey

2. Experienced and Caring Educators

We are handpicking a team of qualified and experienced educators who are passionate about early childhood development. They will create a supportive and engaging learning environment for our youngest learners.

3. Play-Based Learning

Recognizing the importance of play in a child’s development, our Pre-K program will emphasize play-based learning to encourage curiosity, creativity, and social skills.

4. Small Class Sizes

To ensure individualized attention and a supportive atmosphere, our Pre-K classes will have small student-to-teacher ratios, allowing for personalized interaction and tailored instruction.

5. Integrated Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education that includes early literacy, numeracy, social-emotional development, and physical activities. This approach will lay the foundation for future academic success.
