Admissions Application for 25-26 will be available February 1, 2025.

St. Charles offered its first class of preschool the Fall of 2012! We began with one class for 3 year old and a class for 4 year old children. We are give parents a choice of a morning or an afternoon session.It is our hope that each child will maximize his/her physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential. Students will be instilled with the values of respect and responsibility. We ask that all enrolled preschool children be potty trained and self-sufficient in the bathroom. Please click on the Parent tab above for specific cut off dates and detailed registration information.

Curriculum

Students will be introduced to colors, shapes, letters and numbers. They will learn to develop Christian attitudes in sharing, taking turns, listening, helping, loving, thanking and celebrating. They will explore their environment using the five senses with many “hands on” experiences and will develop initiative and creativity through play. Our curriculum is Creative Curriculum and Heggerty.
