You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”   Matthew 22:37

Children may attend 2 (T/Th), 3 (M/W/F), or 5 half or full days. Half day hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Full-day care is from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. However, it is suggested that in the interest of the child, they are left no longer than necessary.

Any half-day student may spend an occasional afternoon at school as space allows. Half-day and hourly rates are listed on the included schedule of Tuition Rates.

At the Preschool, we have a variety of On-Site "Field Trips" that will be scheduled monthly. If the field trip is not on your child’s regularly scheduled day and you wish for him/her to attend, you may request in the office to add an extra day for your child at an additional cost. You also have the option visit the preschool with your child on that day, however, your child will need to remain under your care and supervision, not the teacher's.

Preschool developmental progress reports are sent home twice annually to reflect the child’s behavior observed in class for each area of emphasis taught.

Parent/Teacher Conferences may be scheduled during these times to discuss your child’s individual progress and needs.
