About Our Preschool
St. Charles Borromeo
Facility #376700598
Established in 2009, our Preschool is committed to the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of each of our children. By integrating Core Knowledge-based curriculum with play-based instruction and a religion program that promotes God’s love for everyone, we seek to create a warm, loving Christian environment, while providing materials and activities designed to support the elementary years to follow.
In our two classrooms, a three-year-old room, and a Pre-Kindergarten, sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher-directed. Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement. Schedules are designed to balance structure and free choice as well as active and quiet times. We integrate the Core Knowledge curriculum into our day, but children often lead the curriculum based on their interests.
St. Charles Borromeo Preschool provides a religion program that promotes cultural diversity and expresses love for all God’s children. Christian values are integrated daily into the learning process. We build trust among children, parents, and educators through parent involvement. We strive for openness, joy, and cooperation in Christian living.
We have a highly educated and devoted staff that love to be with children. Teachers serve as positive role models and provide care that is supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child’s individual needs.
Research supports that a fundamental element of a quality Early Childhood program is parent involvement and participation. Parents are encouraged to visit their children during the day, participate in classroom activities, attend school functions, and help on field trips. Parent participation in the center will indeed broaden our program to benefit each child.
