It is the purpose of St. Mary's Preschool to provide a warm, caring environment in which students feel free to be themselves. Through modeling, practicing and reading and discussing stories from the bible, children develop catholic beliefs, values and attitudes. The children are encouraged to view themselves as children of God, members of loving families, and to respect and care for others as they begin to live out our school motto "Integrity for Life." Below are some basic concepts that are explored in preschool to set the foundation for religious learning.
