Students in our Early Childhood program learn fundamental skills in a safe, caring, and playful environment.
Our Early Childhood curriculum is focused on learning through play, allowing students to build relationships and understand God’s love. Teachers support all students as they learn the fundamental social, physical, emotional, and cognitive skills needed for Lower School and beyond. Teachers incorporate movement and outdoor time into the school day, allowing students to explore and discover our beautiful campus. Our PreK program serves 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds, and our Kindergarten program serves 5-year-olds.
