Our Programs & Curriculum
Age-appropriate learning experiences that nurture the whole child
Play-Based Learning Philosophy
Experienced, qualified teachers present a curriculum designed to improve social skills, enhance cognitive and kindergarten readiness skills and encourage creative development. St. Paul’s Preschool applies a balanced approach which includes both teacher directed and child initiated learning with an emphasis on understanding and responding to children’s learning styles and building on their strengths and interests.
Through purposeful play, children naturally develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, and social competence. Our teachers skillfully guide children's exploration while allowing them the freedom to discover and learn at their own pace.
Every activity is designed with intentional learning goals while maintaining the wonder and excitement that makes early childhood education so special.
