Toddler Twos
Age 18 months by September 1
Toddlerhood is a time of great change! Our program will provide experiences to enhance independence and social skills.

Two-Year Olds
Age two by September 1
The focus of our two-year-old program is social interactions, gross-motor skills, and language development. Center time is the heart of their day. A morning of big fun for our twos as they work with their friends to make choices, problem solve, plan and carry out their plans.
(Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday)
Three-Year Olds
Age three by September 1
Language and self-expression, motor-skills, social interactions and learning to love school are key elements in our threes program. Children will learn in a print-rich environment filled with choices and activities that both teach and challenge.
(Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Monday/Tuesday/Thursday)
Four-Year Olds
Age four by September 1
Readiness is the focus for this group of active learners! Hands-on activities, that encourage motor-skills development – to get ready for writing; small group projects – to encourage social skill; problem solving - to enhance critical thinking and cognitive development; emergent reading and writing activities – to make meaning of print and play time – to teach that school is fun. These will be the skills and activities that will build a lifelong love for school for our busy four-year-old students.
(Monday-Friday or Tuesday-Friday)
Young Five-Year Olds
Age five by September 1
This class is a bridge from preschool to elementary school. The days will be filled with play, child choice, language development, social and teamwork building, reading readiness and a move toward more complex thinking in the world of mathematics. Classroom activities will be geared to the many levels of readiness among the students. Teachers will guide student learning and gradually move from more child-centered activities to more "formal lessons" to prepare for entry into elementary school.
(Monday-Friday)
Religious Education
A Christian environment will provide a warm and loving foundation for our preschool. Religious education will reflect the doctrinal and social teachings of the Catholic Church, and will be presented in a manner appropriate for the developmental level of the children. Children will attend chapel and Mass and learn that they are a very important part of the All Saints Church Community.
