Why choose St. Patrick for Early Childhood?
Our Nursery and Pre-Kindergarten programs provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can reach their individual potential. Our curriculum reinforces a positive self-image with a strong foundation toward independence.
Our Early Childhood programs encompass the spiritual, social, cognitive, physical, emotional and intellectual development of each child. Our goal is to stimulate your child’s curiosity and imagination by learning to interact with others, questioning and exploring new ideas, and observing and interacting with their environment. The children achieve these goals through self-discovery activities and hands-on experiences.
We have a great retention rate of early childhood students who continue on (many through 8th grade!). We have an enclosed playground with playground equipment that is just for use by our early childhood students."Parents are the first educators of the children entrusted to our care. We simply enforce the values that were first taught at home. Although we have a stellar academic program-letter recognition, phonics, writing, etc, our faith is first and foremost in all that we do at St. Patrick School. We live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Each day begins with prayer, we say Grace before lunch, and we showcase the birth of our Lord in a Christmas Pageant. Well known saints, like St. Nick and St. Patrick are highlighted each month. We work hand-in- hand with parents to ensure each student meetst with success in the classroom."
