Pre-Kindergarten Program

Full Day Everyday Program for 4-5-Year-Olds
The Saint John Pre-Kindergarten Program provides a Catholic Christian education with an optimal educational learning experience. Saint John Pre-Kindergarten reflects the best learning practices in a comfortable and stimulating environment as well as fostering an atmosphere of Christian love and concern.

Our curriculum addresses cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual and physical development of the whole child. The Pre-Kindergarten Program will:

Encourage each student to express him/herself as an individual through language development and creativity.

Provide opportunities for students to experience the fine arts through weekly art classes and music education.

Include weekly opportunities for Library time, physical education, and cooperative activities with our all-day, everyday, Kindergarten Program.

Encourage students to successfully function in a group of peers through cooperation, sharing, friendship and values.

Connect the students to the Saint John School community through inclusion in Holiday Parties, Christmas and Seasonal programs, and a Pre-Kindergarten graduation celebration.
