Saint Catherine of Siena pre-kindergarten is designed to create a loving, God-centered environment where children are cared for and educated with love and respect. Each child is treated as a unique being with his or her own interests, abilities, and God given talents.
Throughout the school year, your child will have exciting well planned learning opportunities to develop social skills, fine and gross motor skills, reading readiness skills - letter and sound recognition. Each child will develop math readiness skills such as number recognition, counting, sorting, and classifying. They will also have opportunities to develop eye hand coordination, auditory, visual and critical thinking skills as well as a love for learning.
The pre-kindergarten teachers at SCS use their knowledge and training in Early Childhood and the child’s natural inquisitive, explorative, and creative nature to “Learn by Doing”. This child-centered hands-on approach makes pre-kindergarten exciting and fun. Your child will experience this by participating in many activities including story time, dramatic play, arts and crafts, physical education class, music class, library time, puppetry, science exploration, and field trips.
