"To grow as a learner and as a person."
Philosophy Statement
The Purpose of the St. Bernadette Preschool is to provide the parents and children of our school community with a preschool program that provides their child with a loving, nurturing and Christian environment where the child can grow as a learner in a positive way. There will be a strong partnership of learning between the students and teachers. The whole child’s learning process will be nurtured in a positive, engaging, motivating and exciting way by always teaching best practices to the students and keeping the needs of each and every student first. Each child will be committed to working in a harmonious environment that encompasses an “I can” attitude at all times. Every child enrolled in St. Bernadette’s preschool program will have their chance to shine as a learner.
Our Curriculum is developed so that each child is encouraged to grow intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually and it is designed to meet the needs of every child.

Three-Year Old Program
Our Three-Year Old Program focuses on social skills, gross and fine motor skills, group participation, learning to work independently and following routines and directions. The children develop these skills through circle time, small and large group activities, center time and one-on-one work with the teacher. The children are able to develop at their own pace and are never rushed through any part of development. The children learn in a very non-threatening, nurturing environment. Our three-year old program has 12 children in each class with a full-time teacher and an assistant teacher.
Four-Year Old Program
Our Four-Year Old Program places a strong emphasis on pre-kindergarten skills. The children work in large and small groups focusing on developing reading and writing skills, motor skills and critical thinking. The children are involved in peer interaction as well as one-on-one interaction with the teacher. The four-year old program is designed to provide children with the skills needed to have an easy transition into kindergarten. Our four-year old program has 12 children in each class with a full-time teacher and assistant.
