Purpose of the Preschool
St. Andrew preschool is a child-centered program that offers a safe, creative and loving environment for children's learning to unfold. The preschool serves families with children ages 3, 4 and 5 years of age with morning and extended-day sessions.
Goals of the Preschool
- To help children become independent, and inquisitive learners by nurturing their social, spiritual, emotional, cognitive and physical growth.
