Sacred Heart Preschool

Sacred Heart Preschool offers our children an opportunity to grow in faith and knowledge in a loving, nurturing environment.  Our experienced teachers work together in partnership with parents during these crucial early years as we meet the needs of each child.  Together we encourage the development of the whole child, spiritually, emotionally, physically, academically, and socially.

Sacred Heart School offers a full-day preschool program and a morning preschool program.  Preschoolers who attend the full-day program may also attend SHARP, our after-school program staffed by our own faculty, until 6:00 pm.

GOALS of the PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS

To understand that each individual is a child of God and to recognize God in others.
To inspire a love for school by providing a safe, loving, secure, and fun place to be with friends.
To provide opportunities for children to feel competent, independent, accepted, and loved as they grow in self-awareness.
To prepare for eventual entrance into kindergarten by facilitating developmentally appropriate learning experiences which allow for differences, discovery, and a sense of wonder about God’s creation.
