Welcome to Preschool!

Welcome to Saint Agnes Preschool! Our program goal is to foster a positive self-concept for children, rooted in the understanding that God made each person through His goodness. Through gentle and age-appropriate guidance, we will help children lay the groundwork for school success. Preschoolers at Saint Agnes will experience an environment tailored to the specific needs of their age, with warm and inviting teachers, weekly rotations of materials through engaging curriculum themes, as well as Catholic enrichment experiences.

Classrooms

We serve children in two rooms divided by age. Our Ladybug room serves our youngest Aggies, starting at age 3. The Star room serves our Pre-Kindergarten students; aged 4-5. The children have the opportunity to integrate daily during gym time and recess as well as on field trips, and special occasions. Both rooms are led by devoted teachers, set apart by many years of teaching preschool with a true heart for the care of young children.

Preschool Instruction Time

Preschoolers are always learning. Every interaction and experience provides them information, increases knowledge, increases understanding, and provides them with foundational skills they will use for the rest of their lives.
This schedule provides preschoolers with an excellent balance of teacher-led instruction and student-led creative free play that will help them successfully transition to Kindergarten.
