Our preschool program begins with the introduction of Jesus as our friend. This continues to be the foundation on which our program, as well as our entire school, is built. Our curriculum is designed to create and maintain a healthy balance between academic achievements and social development. Through positive reinforcement, attentive nurturing and strong parent/teacher communications, our students exit preschool with a strong faith base and an enthusiasm for learning. Upon completion of preschool, our students are well prepared to meet the academic rigors of the Primary Academy.
