ST. MARY SCHOOL
PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM

 

Are you looking for a Pre-Kindergarten program that will provide your four year old with a head start on a positive kindergarten experience? Is your child ready for a Pre-K program that will enhance both social and academic skills? Would you like your child to attend preschool in a faith-filled, nurturing environment that provides all the amenities of a larger school setting? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we invite you to call our School Office for more information about registering your child in the St. Mary School Pre-Kindergarten Program.

The Pre-Kindergarten program is designed to better accommodate children's needs and parents' schedules. A two, three, or five day morning program is offered, as well as a full-day option with aftercare. The Pre-K program at St. Mary offers several features that make it unique in our local community:

* Taught by a Bachelor of Education degreed and State of Illinois certified teacher who is a part-time faculty member at St. Mary School. The program is housed in the primary grade wing of St. Mary School, across the hallway from the kindergarten classroom. This setting provides students with a Chapel, gymnasium, library, computer lab, cafeteria, and spacious playground, and allows the Pre-K students to become familiar with the kindergarten class and teacher.
* Students participate in Physical Education, Computer Technology and Music classes, library, prayer services, student assemblies, and the annual Christmas music program.
* An important feature of the program is the strong academic component, which provides students with activities that develop and enhance fundamental language, math, and large/fine motor skills in preparation for kindergarten. Advanced or gifted students are offered opportunities to progress beyond the Pre-K level in specific academic areas, if appropriate.
* The program offers a flexible multi-day schedule that is designed to accommodate children’s needs and parents’ lifestyles. Two, three, or five day morning sessions are available, as well as a full-day/after care option.

In order to enroll for the 2007/2008 school year, students must be four years old prior to Sept. 1. Please call the School Office at 815-756-7905 for more information or to schedule a visit to the school campus.
