THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAM
Since 1990, St. Paul's Preschool has served the needs of many students and families in our community. We strive to create a positive learning experience within a Christian environment so that the child may develop both an interest and joy in learning. Through offering a balance between social and pre-kindergarten academic skills, the Preschool hopes to provide each child with an opportunity to grow socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.
