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.
Your child will learn to...
...appreciate God’s Love for each of us.
...get along with others, be polite, fair, take turns, and
follow rules.
...share with others – toys, games, snacks, and
experiences.
...explore new things, ideas, and the world around them.
...express themselves with words, Playdough, crayons,
music, scissors, etc.
...appreciate literature and discover the joy of reading
through viewing , listening to, and creating class books.
...expand their vocabulary by using new words based on
experiences, conversations, songs, stories, and games.
...write by building fine motor skills through a variety
of media.
...count and learn to associate the concept with the

inside and outside of the classroom.

accept the consequences of those decisions.
...think of and respect others – family, friends, staff,
and those in need.
...understand the importance of parents and teachers
working together as partners.
