Pre-K

Philosophy 

The Diocese of Raleigh Early Childhood Centers/Preschools believe that a developmentally appropriate Catholic preschool experience provides an environment that allows freedom to play, explore and discover the wonders of God’s world in the course of a child-oriented day. We believe children learn most effectively through sensory experiences and activities that stir the imagination and encourage exploration.
It is essential for children to develop a well-adjusted sense of self in an environment that affords opportunities to attempt new skills and recognize that learning involves trial and error. Within the classroom, children freely interact with peers and adults, developing a sense of trust and respect for individuals. By providing standards that integrate all areas of a child’s development, children can learn and reach their maximum potential.

Spiritual Development 

Experiences that assist children in learning about Jesus’ life and teachings; developing a relationship with God through prayer; appreciating God’s creation; beginning exposure to Catholic traditions; and treating self and others with respect.
