Our PreK Program focuses on developing children's intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual skills to prepare them for Kindergarten. Teachers communicate benchmark goals with parents, and students enhance their fine motor skills through tracing and writing letters, learning upper and lower case letters, and writing their names. PreK and Kindergarten students attend PE daily and weekly library, music, and art classes. Additionally, students have a designated time for afternoon naps and can partake in daily recess activities.
Students attend weekly Chapel in addition to their Religion class, where they learn about God and grow their relationship through Bible stories.

A highlight of our program is the introduction of the Singapore Math curriculum in Kindergarten, renowned for its success in developing strong arithmetic and number sense skills. Embraced by classical schools in the United States, the program is inspired by Singapore's consistent top-ranking performance in math worldwide, as documented by the Trends in Math and Science Study (TIMSS).
Kindergarten students actively participate in weekly Mass at St. Louis Catholic Church starting in the spring semester. Our kindergarteners are paired with middle school students in a Buddy System during the fall semester to foster a sense of community. This models proper Mass behavior and encourages shared activities like reading, crafting, and building enduring friendships between the two groups.
