St. Pius X Preschool

For twenty-six years, St. Pius X Preschool has provided our students with a well-rounded, developmentally appropriate first school experience for both three and four year old children. In accordance with the stated philosophy contained in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Early Education Guidelines, we believe that education assists in the development of the total person--spiritually, physically,socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

Within a secure nurturing setting, our program incorporates learning experiences, both formal and informal,in the following areas: religion, language arts, math, science, perceptual, fine and gross motor skills, expressive arts--music, art, and dramatic play, nutrition, health/safety programs. Our Lab Learner science program and universal handwriting program introduce skills and lay the groundwork which will be continued in Kindergarten and beyond.

The preschool curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania Kindergarten to Third Grade Academic Standards. The third grade Terra Nova scores reflect the impact that our Preschool curriculum has on school readiness and success. While addressing individual needs, we keep in close contact with our students’ families. Our students emerge with the skills and confidence necessary to be successful, life-long learners.
