St. Mary's Early Education Program is a developmental program designed to create a stimulating classroom and to promote physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth within a Catholic environment.  Our goal is to instill in each child a sense of curiosity, of creativity, and a love of learning that will set a pattern for life.  We believe that every child is uniquely blessed by God with special gifts and we hope to nurture the development of these gifts in a non-competitive environment that promotes a sense of self-worth and caring toward one another.

PRE-K PROGRAM
The Pre-K program is a little more structured.  More attention is given to the alphabet and number recognition. The children are taught to recognize and to write their names.  They are learning responsibility through classroom "jobs", i.e., "door holder", "line leader", etc.  Lessons can be more involved due to the children's increased attention span.  The children participate in learning centers more independently.  "Sharing God's Story"  Year 4 series is the religion series.  Field trips are scheduled throughout the year to enrich the curriculum and provide an opportunity for the children to experience different aspects of our community.  The classes are limited to twelve (12) children in a single room, and sixteen (16) children in a double room, with a teacher and an assistant.  Children must be potty trained.
