Our Program

Our goal is to provide a positive Christian environment, which will promote social, physical, intellectual, and emotional growth of the preschool child. Learning experiences appropriate for the developmental age of each child is provided daily. Children need to feel good about themselves! Positive guidance techniques are used to enhance a child's feelings of self worth. The daily schedule includes time for group interaction which helps the children learn to cooperate, listen, and share; self-selected activities which stimulate cognitive growth and creativity, as well as emotional and social development; and daily activities to promote positive growth in large and small motor development.

Preschool Philosophy

St. John the Evangelist often reminds us to “Love one another as Jesus loves us.” With that in mind St. John's Preschool strives to be an irreplaceable source of spiritual, academic, and social development geared for the betterment of the world. It is the philosophy of this preschool that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring, and discovery. Preschool children are receptive and creative. Our program strives to nurture and encourage this quality in its students. Spiritual Growth & Religion We are proud that at St. John's Catholic Preschool, Christian values are developed throughout our everyday atmosphere and opportunities. The children are introduced to basic prayers, participate in special activities within the church and the school, participate in missions of giving to learn to care for others as Jesus reminds us to do. Our hope is to provide an environment that nurtures respect for self and others, and to encourage family values and an awareness of God's love for us. Juniors and Peewees will attend Mass every Wednesday beginning the First week of school.
