The preschool curriculum is designed to optimize learning readiness, as well as development of social skills in a variety of settings and experiences.
OVERVIEW
Early childhood education is an important part of building a child’s academic, spiritual and social foundation for a successful life. St. Francis Xavier’s Preschool utilizes an early childhood based curriculum that uses age-appropriate resources, methodology and materials.
By introducing children to Christian virtues, prayer, and more, your child will have a dynamic religious formation. St. Francis recognizes that children are unique with their own backgrounds, personalities and learning styles. Our curriculum meets the child where he or she is, and empowers them to discover, learn, explore and succeed.
The preschool program day runs from 7:45-3:10, Students may be dropped off as early as 7:00 and are able to go to extended day until 5:30 PM.
