Admission · Ages 3–5

A joyful first step in faith & learning

Our preschool gives your little one a nurturing, play-based introduction to God's world — and a confident, well-prepared start for kindergarten.

Welcome, Little Learners

Where curiosity meets the love of Christ

In a warm, faith-filled classroom, our youngest students explore, play, and grow together. Days are filled with stories, song, prayer, and hands-on discovery that nurture the whole child — mind, body, and spirit.

As part of St. Mary, preschoolers become part of our parish family from their very first day, building friendships and confidence that carry them right into kindergarten.
