Philosophy

Our goal is to provide a safe and stimulating environment.  We encourage children to explore and interact in their environment. We provide the foundation for successful achievement in learning by developing an excitement and enthusiasm for learning through self-confidence.  Socialization skills, such as listening and being listened to, interacting with other children, treating others with respect, sharing, taking turns and expressing their feelings verbally are very important.  Expressing our Catholic Faith through role modeling and daily activities will give introduction to a faith-based environment.

General Information

Our program is designed around the developmental needs of your child and your needs as parents.  We provide an environment in which your child will grow emotionally, cognitively, developmentally, and spiritually in a safe and loving environment.

Our staff is carefully selected for their educational training in Early Childhood Development and their ability to meet the individual needs of your child with sensitivity, responsibility and professionalism.  We employ a staff of ten professionals including the Director, Administrative Assistant and eight preschool teachers.  The staff members have been employed from one to fifteen years with the Diocese of Sacramento.

The Preschool is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  We accept children age 2 and potty-trained through age 5.  The Center is open year round except for one week at Christmas and one week at the end of summer, mainly for cleaning and remodeling.

The preschool portion of our day is in operation from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.  The teachers present an age appropriate Literature-based curriculum, including daily stories that set the tone for math, science, language and art.  The weekly curriculum also include daily Bible stories, Chapel visits, and prayer before meals.  The students enjoy gymnastics on Mondays, outside play time, special guests, our annual Christmas Program, Fall Festival and the Pre-K Graduation.

The Preschool offers a school-age summer camp program for students Kindergarten through 5th grades during the months of June, July and August.
