Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten is your child’s introduction to formalized learning.  As such, St. Emily’s 3 and 4 year old Pre-Kindergarten provides a faith-based, engaging and nurturing environment in which your child can comfortably explore, wonder, question and investigate the world.  Our program provides the opportunity for your child to develop spiritually, emotionally, academically, and physically.  Emphasis is placed on early social skills, interaction with peers, sharing, being a good friend, cooperation and taking turns.
