St. Peter’s Preschool stresses the value of play to help a young child’s cognitive development: learning and play are synonymous.

The program is designed to challenge the imagination and stimulate spiritual, social, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth.

Our hands-on activities allow your child to touch, create, pretend, explore and discover in a light, relaxed, fun-centered and loving atmosphere.

Your child will be encouraged to appreciate and respect God’s world.

We feel it is especially important for a child to develop a sense of self-worth. We enhance self-esteem by focusing on a child’s positive qualities. What can your child do particularly well? What makes your child unique or special? Our goal is for your child to develop a sense of pride and independence. A self-assured child grows into a self-assured adult!

Our program also stresses your child’s social development, motor skills, emotional development and good work habits.

Other skills focus on perception: eye-hand coordination, color/shape recognition, sound recognition, and observation of likenesses and differences.

Your child will also learn:

  • social studies through field trips, guest speakers, and the celebration of holidays.
  • language arts by participating in oral expression and comprehension activities.
  • the foundations of math skills by studying shapes, counting, sorting and classifying concrete objects, and through the use of measurement concepts.
  • about nature though learning about animals and shells.
  • art and music by singing, creative expression, drawing and dance.

At St. Peter’s Preschool, we put the needs of your child first. We work hard to create an informal, loving atmosphere in which children may learn and grow, while still enjoying the carefree innocence of early childhood.
