Our Preschool program serves children who are 18 months (Toddlers) by September 1st of the current school year, 2’s, 3’s, and Pre-K 4’s. Our Faith Formation program is based on the Archdiocese of Atlanta guidelines for preschool children. The Office of Catholic Schools oversees all parish preschools and provides us with support throughout the school year. We incorporate the latest set of high-quality, research-based early learning standards for children birth to age five from the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). Children’s individual development is supported through these standards providing an approach that respects children’s individual rates of development and approaches to learning. |

Our Preschool Day
Our curriculum is a blend of purchased materials and teacher-made activities. Our teachers draw from many resources to provide the learning opportunities your child will experience. Each age level has goals and objectives to accomplish which are presented in a developmentally appropriate manner. Each classroom is well-stocked with manipulatives and art supplies. Library books from our resource room are circulated each month. Our resource room also provides literacy books for phonemic awareness and phonics, theme-specific materials, and additional art supplies. |
