St. John the Baptist Catholic Preschool implements the Big Day for pre-k curriculum. It is a program organized around “Big Experiences” that engage children and integrate social-emotional, academic, and physical development. Weekly and daily lessons build on a social-emotional and knowledge focus that helps children learn about themselves and their world as they move toward kindergarten readiness.
PROGRAM EXPLANATIONS
Extended Enrichment: Extended enrichment enables children to attend St. John the Baptist Catholic Preschool for the full day. This is a great option for full-time working families. When your child is not attending their assigned preschool or pre-k class, he or she will be with the extended enrichment students and faculty. Those students who attend an AM class with extended enrichment will be required to take an afternoon nap/rest time.
Preschool/Pre-K Classes: Our preschool and pre-k classes are half-day programs. Our preschool options are only in the AM and our pre-k program has both an AM and a PM option.
