PREKINDERGARTEN

Saint Paul offers you and your family a warm, safe, nurturing, and structured environment for your prekindergarten aged children in a way that is personalized for them and easy for you – a neighborhood school that offers flexible days, flexible hours, and a loving staff that will prepare your child for their future education – all with the care of Jesus’ love.

Our prekindergarten program recognizes the need for providing an atmosphere in which we foster spiritual, social, physical, and mental growth in your young child. Knowing that children learn by being active, curious, confident, and by having divergent thinking, we provide many opportunities for varied learning experiences appropriate to the developmental level of young children. This learning will occur through daily activities, which include play, conversation, books, audio-visual materials, a wide variety of hands-on experiences, and incidental happenings.

ENJOYING OUR DAYS IN PREKINDERGARTEN

Walk through our prekindergarten doors and we’ll welcome you into an environment where laughter, songs, and smiles are plentiful. Based on Early Childhood Standards set by the State of Illinois, our program educates and encourages Saint Paul’s youngest children to learn and grow in a faith based, play based environment.
