Preschool Program
-
-
Blessed Sacrament Preschool focuses on making the child's first school experience a positive one. We offer the children a safe and loving environment where they can develop a positive self-concept as they interact with the teacher and each other. We have a structured setting where the children learn through play as well as through a variety of hands-on activities, music and movement, large and small group instruction, and SmartBoard technology.
We use the Rowland Reading Foundation's Happily Ever After series with our four-year-old classes. This program focuses on oral language and vocabulary, listening skills, direction following, and fine motor skills. We use the RCL curriculum, Stories of God's Love, for our religion program but also incorporate religious concepts and values in all we do throughout the day. We also present social and scientific fun, language and math skills, motor skills, reasoning skills, and opportunities for social and emotional development. 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.
