OUR APPROACH
At St. Mary’s Preschool we inspire 3-5 year olds to wonder, discover, create and excel...to set them up for a lifelong love of learning. We support emerging skills and stimulate the growth of the whole child by appropriately balancing playful and hands-on-learning with individual, small, and large group instruction. Our program gives each child the opportunity to develop into a happy, conscientious, confident learner who is prepared for success both in school and in life
