Preschool
This program promotes the development of the child as an individual along with the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development of each child.
The Preschool Program at St. Elizabeth Seton consists of four programs: Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Preschool Plus and Child Care. These programs serve children from the ages of 3 through the fifth grade and are available from 6:00am to 6:00pm.
Our preschool curriculum is centered on play-based learning. This involves both child-initiated and teacher-supported learning. Children develop social, emotional, literacy, critical thinking, and creativity skills that create confidence. Children learn skills needed in a structured environment. Children are introduced to Bible foundations and Christ’s Teachings. Children participate in weekly Library, Music, and Physical Education classes. We are a partner in the Starting Strong Scholarship program.
