Pre-Kindergarten
At All Saints Catholic School, our PreK program is where curiosity is nurtured, friendships are formed, and a lifelong love of learning begins. We believe every child is a unique gift from God—capable, curious, and full of potential. Our youngest learners are encouraged to wonder, explore, ask questions, and discover their place in a caring, faith-centered community.
A Thoughtful Beginning
Our full-day PreK program offers a warm, structured, and joyful environment with a Staff-to-student ratio of approximately 10:1 , allowing for meaningful relationships and individualized attention. Children must be four years old by September 1.
Learning at All Saints is active and engaging. Guided by experienced teachers, our thematic, play-based approach honors how young children learn best—through hands-on exploration, conversation, creativity, and reflection. Academic skills are thoughtfully woven into meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence.
Learning Through Experience
In our PreK classrooms, you will see children deeply engaged—building, questioning, creating, collaborating, and praying together. Core areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Religion, Art, Music, Physical Education, Library, and Spanish are embedded naturally throughout the day.
We place special emphasis on social-emotional growth, helping children learn to:
- Express their ideas and feelings
- Listen to and learn from others
- Practice empathy, kindness, and responsibility
- Develop independence and resilience
These foundational skills prepare our students not only for kindergarten, but for a lifetime of learning and leadership.
Who We Are in PreK
🌎 We Are Friends of the Earth
God made the world and everything in it, and we are called to care for His creation. Our students learn stewardship by caring for their classroom and campus and by practicing the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle.
☮️ We Are Peacemakers
Rooted in the example of Jesus, children learn how to be thoughtful members of a community. They practice cooperation, develop classroom agreements, resolve conflicts peacefully, and grow in empathy and respect for others and for diverse cultures.
🔬 We Are Scientists
Children explore the world around them through observation and inquiry. They investigate living and nonliving things, notice patterns in weather and seasons, explore how objects move and change, and engage in hands-on discovery that builds curiosity and critical thinking.
📚 We Are Readers and Writers
Through stories, conversation, and play, children develop early literacy skills. They listen, speak, draw, dictate, and write to share ideas and tell stories. Students learn letter recognition, write their names, explore sounds and words, and begin to understand how print connects to spoken language.
🔢 We Are Mathematicians
Math comes alive through real-world exploration. Children count with understanding, recognize numbers, explore shapes, measure, sort, classify, and develop an awareness of time and sequence—all through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
