Blessed Sacrament Preschool opened its doors in September 2004.  We offer a morning program, which runs from 8:15 – 11:00 a.m.  The three year-old class meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  The four year-old class meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.  We also offer an afternoon class, Monday through Friday, for four and five-year-olds, which runs from 12:00 – 2:40 p.m.  We also offer a full-day class, which follows our regular school schedule.  Children must be three or four years old, respectively, by September 1^st of the school year.

 The philosophy on which Blessed Sacrament Preschool is based centers upon making the child’s first school experience a positive one.  We offer the children a warm, loving, God-filled environment where they can develop a positive self-concept as they actively explore their world and where they interact with the teacher and each other.

 We have a structured but flexible and informal setting where the children enjoy learning through a variety of hands-on activities and materials.

 We present a religion program but also incorporate religious concepts and values in all we do throughout our day.  We also present social and scientific fun, language and math skills at their level and interest, motor skills, and development in social and emotional and reasoning skills.  We do a lot of creative, musical and motor activities.  Praying together and developing sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others are important steps toward developing Christian attitudes in children and are an important part of our preschool program.
