Parent Info

• Our preschool teachers prepare monthly lesson plans using the categories of math/manipulative; language/literacy; science/sensory; dramatic play; social studies and creative art. We also consider the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards. Each classroom offers child and teacher led activities in small and large groups.
• We use Catholic ABC’s to help bring the Catholic faith into our curriculum.
• Our preschool teachers use a wide variety of materials to implement classroom curriculum and activities. These include, but are not limited to library books, listening centers, shared games, puzzles, manipulatives, dramatic play materials, puppets, blocks and accessories, and creative art materials.
• Religious principles are introduced in each classroom through Catholic and Christian prayer, stories, discovery and discussion. A monthly prayer service will take place in the church.

Yes we do have a special designated playground.

Children must bring their lunch.  Lunch should include healthy choices such as, fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat or sandwich.  Please no sweets or juice. We encourage children to open containers and packages, but we will help if necessary.  We will provide water for lunch and throughout the day.

We believe that part of the educational experience is learning about proper nutrition. Eating lunch at school is a great opportunity to reinforce this concept. Help us by always sending healthy foods for lunch. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for foods that are potential choking hazards. Food that is a choking hazard will be returned home. 

Please note: Foods requiring cutting or other preparation must be completed at home. Teachers do not have adequate time to prepare lunch items. Please remember to include disposable spoons when necessary.
*WE REQUIRE THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ANY CHILDREN IN YOUR CHILD’S CLASS WITH SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES. YOU WILL BE ALERTED TO THESE BY YOUR CLASSROOM TEACHER.

Our Pre-school consists of children aged 2-5 and they are the playmates of your children.
