Introducing our youngest students to the world of school is a task we take very seriously. In Pre-Kindergarten, they are first of all made to feel safe and secure through age appropriate routines, which give them a sense of predictability. They participate in whole 
group, small group, and individual activities that engage them in and excite them about the world. Away from home, perhaps for the first time, they are encouraged to make choices and to be responsible.
Multi-sensory learning is incorporated into each day as they look at seeds in a magnifying table, listen to stories and rhymes, trace letters in sand, and balance their bodies on an obstacle course. Every effort is made to use exact vocabulary, for words are the placeholders for ideas. Classifying objects and organizing ideas are on-going activities in Pre-Kindergarten; this work provides the scaffolding for all future learning in school.
Curriculum for math, language arts, science, religion, and social studies are planned and taught by the Pre-Kindergarten teacher following the state guidelines and our diocesan recommendations.
