 Click on one of the links to the left to learn more about the All Saints Preschool, Pre Kindergarten or Kindergarten programs.
In Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten, each child is considered a unique person with individual interests, abilities, and learning styles. Varied experiences meet developmental needs and stimulate growth in all areas -- social, physical, emotional, and intellectual. Children work in small groups and individually. They are encouraged to explore the environment, to be actively engaged with learning materials, and to select many of their own activities from an assortment of learning centers -- science, math, blocks, cooking, literacy, dramatic play, games and puzzles, art, music, fine and gross motor.
Many opportunities for cooperating, helping, negotiating and using language to solve interpersonal problems develop social skills throughout the school day. A strong emphasis is placed on developing the child's emerging literacy skills through frequent experiences with Big Books, journals, and appropriate writing activities. The math program promotes success in the acquisition of math concepts through daily hands-on activities with manipulatives and interactive instruction.
Parent involvement in the child's education is important. We welcome parents to participate and share in the learning experience by reading in the library and by helping with our special events and activities.
Children's natural curiosity and innate desire to learn help motivate them to become involved in learning activities. Their experiences at each level serve to promote their self-esteem and success in future educational endeavors.
The Patriot Learning Center Division Head oversees the daily affairs of Preschool, perk, and Kindergarten and works closely with the administration, teachers, students, and parents on matters pertinent to this area. Parents with questions, problems, or suggestions should contact the Division Head.
