Our Pre-K Clovers have a full daily schedule, starting with an interactive morning meeting and calendar. Children then move to small groups at various learning centers to participate in math, literacy/writing, science and social studies, dramatic play, and gross and fine motor activities. All centers are designed to build foundational skills essential for academic readiness in developmentally appropriate ways. A literacy center may include students mixing up a pot of alphabet soup and then sorting letters, using a spatula to flip over 'letter cookies' and match letters, and tracing letters in a salt tray. We strive to make learning engaging and fun for our students!
We integrate activities into our daily routines to reinforce expectations of social behavior, problem solving techniques, and positive ways to handle our ever-changing emotions. Social-emotional development and interpersonal skills are essential building blocks to future school success.
Importantly, religion is integrated throughout the daily rhythms of the day to include prayer, interactive religious lessons, and attending weekly mass.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's foundational years of education and the many exciting experiences ahead.
We utilize the DIG program from the Abrams Company/Frog Street creators. It is a comprehensive, hands-on Pre-K curriculum designed to support young children in all areas of development—social, emotional, physical, and cognitive. It stands for Develop. Inspire. Grow., and that’s exactly what it helps our students do every day.
With a focus on developmentally-appropriate learning, DIG introduces children to early literacy, math, science, and social studies in fun and engaging ways. Activities are centered around weekly themes, encouraging exploration, creativity, and critical thinking. Children build early skills through stories, songs, movement, games, and meaningful classroom experiences.
Allelu! is our primary religious curriculum. Lessons provide active-learning experiences to introduce children to Jesus the traditions and rituals of the Catholic community. A core philosophy of Allelu is to help young children form a personal relationship with Christ and his Church. Lessons intentionally focus on how children relate to God (as a communion of persons), their families, the parish family, and the wider community.
Heggerty is our supplemental literacy program that we implement into our daily program.
Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. It is a critical foundational skill for reading and spelling development in preschoolers, and a strong predictor of early reading success.
The curriculum teaches eight phonemic awareness skills: rhyme, onset fluency, phoneme isolation, blending, segmenting, adding, deleting, and substituting
