Preschool Three-year-old Class
Morning program: Tuesday and Thursday from 7:45am to 11:00am
Our three-year-old program focuses on social interaction through group related activities. Each month we work on a theme and incorporate our activities, art, and circle time around that theme. The journey into literacy begins through storytelling. Children are introduced to concepts of letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. They work on fine motor skills, such as cutting and coloring, and use different art techniques. Music, story time, and free play also play an important role in every school day. Each child enrolled must be three years old by October 1st of current school year.
Registration fee: $85 per child (non-refundable)
Tuition: $2,650 per year for families registered at Saint Joseph Parish; $2,870 per year for families registered at another Catholic parish; $3,280 per year for families not affiliated with a Catholic parish.
Pre-Kindergarten Four-year-old Class
Three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:45am to 2:45am
Five days a week: Monday – Friday from 7:45am to 2:45pm
For the four-year-olds, an emphasis is placed on kindergarten readiness. This program features a new letter of the alphabet each week. Our objective is for children to understand that each letter of the alphabet makes a different sound and when you put the letters together they form words. Children learn to recognize the letters and the sound that each represents. Science and math concepts are explored through hands-on activities. Music, art, and physical activity help to develop an early love of learning. Each child enrolled must be four years old by October 1st of current school year.

Faith
Woven throughout the curriculum is an introduction to the wonder of God’s creation. Children are taught that each person is a special gift from God. We follow the curriculum from Stories of God’s Love. This program teaches children Scripture stories that tell of God’s love and connects these stories to their daily life. Prayers and songs are an integral part of class.
