Pre-Kindergarten Class
Monday - Friday 9:00am - 2:15pm
Our Lady of Joy PreK classroom is thoughtfully designed to prepare children who meet the age requirement for kindergarten in the following school year. Rooted in our Catholic faith, our daily routine lovingly incorporates the Pledge of Allegiance, Hail Mary and the Our Father, nurturing both the hearts and minds of our students through faith-based teachings. Our academically strong curriculum prepares children for kindergarten readiness, with many students becoming confident early readers, proficient writers, and curious budding scientists. At the same time, we believe young children learn best through a healthy balance- allowing time to play, explore, and build friendships while also engaging in meaningful academic work. With small class sizes and dedicated teachers, we are able to guide each child toward their highest potential in a safe, joyful, and faith- filled learning environment.
