Montessori Preschool (Ages 3 & 4)
Welcome!
We have many exciting opportunities in our Preschool program that will enhance your child’s growth and development. Your child is exposed to Art, Library, and Gym classes. Your child will also share many activities with the students in the Lower and Upper school programs.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be incorporating the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd into our preschool program.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a program of religious formation developed from Montessori methodology. It helps a child to further develop his/her relationship with God in a developmentally appropriate way.
The Catechesis strives to reveal the religious potential of the child and respond to the spiritual needs and qualities of the child. It seeks to help children grow and mature in their faith and their relationship with Christ. The Catechesis emphasizes quiet contemplation, understanding of the Sacraments, and enjoyment of God.
