EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION                               

  Nursery Program

The Nursery program is designed to develop an enthusiasm for school as well as learning in a safe, stimulating, community environment. The Nursery program uses a thematic approach to creative learning. This program supports the cognitive, social, and emotional development of the child while reinforcing the presence of God in his/her life.  Emphasis is placed on developing independence and self-esteem through fine and gross motor activities, arts and crafts, music and movement.  

Pre-Kindergarten Program

The Pre-Kindergarten program is designed to develop the intellectual, psychological, social, and spiritual growth of each child.  Students are nurtured in knowing and loving God through activities that develop the Catholic faith.

The curriculum is aligned with New York State Standards.  It is theme based, incorporating math, social studies, and science within the literacy program.  The curriculum incorporates hands-on activities that utilize manipulatives, real life experiences, and projects that incorporate the fine arts.  Students are encouraged to develop both cognitively and socially through the use of differentiated learning centers, as well as whole group and small group activities
