Our Philosophy

  • St. Patrick Preschool recognizes every child is a unique and individual gift created by God. We also recognize every child developed in his or her own way and in their own time.  The foundation for lifelong learning is developed in early childhood.
  • We believe in an atmosphere that creates a positive self-image and meets the physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and creative self is necessary to prepare children to be happy, confident, and independent learners.
  • Children learn through play and play is an integral part of our program. "Discovery Centers" allow children the opportunity to explore, experience, and most importantly.....to succeed.

We hope to support and nurture the faith taught at home by integrating Catholic-Christian values into our program. Through independent and group activities, the children will grow in their knowledge and love of God.

What's the #1 Way to Prepare for Kindergarten?
According to research, reading with your child is the number one way to prepare them for kindergarten. This simple and enjoyable act sets the stage for learning to read, introduces them to vocabulary and print awareness, and provides invaluable one-on-one time for parent and child. Remember, it’s not only up to parents to read with children – grandparents and caregivers make great reading partners, too! For more tips to encourage a love for reading, click here.
