We believe the world is beautiful, knowable, and good. Our role is to help children tune into this goodness with curiosity and joy. This is the heart of Kindergarten — helping young learners fall in love with the world around them.
Each day, we gently guide children in building the habits of a healthy mind and heart. We teach letters, numbers, listening, observing, friendship, music, and emotional skills. Above all, we honor each child as Jesus taught us — with respect and reverence, while protecting them from adult stresses and responsibilities.
“The first essential for the child’s development is concentration.
The child who concentrates is immensely happy”—
Maria Montessori
Ages four and five are a precious, life-shaping time. We believe that an environment of daily skills and structure, in an atmosphere of God’s love, is the bedrock of successful education and an abundant life.
The goals of a great Kindergarten program include cognitive development, social-emotional growth in security, skills to have happy relationships with adults and peers, the development of fine motor skills and creative expression, and for their first experiences of school to be as much as possible an extension of home and family. Our TK/Kindergarten provides all of this, rooted and grounded in God’s love.
“Religious experience is possible in every human being, and it is offered to each one of us in childhood.”
