Preschool

We are a center and play-based program and believe children learn best through play.  We focus on the development of the whole child. Throughout the year, many themes and units are taught with corresponding centers to practice various developmental and academic skills.  Through the units taught and centers, students develop many social/emotional, and cognitive skills.

We offer both a half-day and full-day program. Our preschool program is for children who are 3 years old by August 1st and our pre-kindergarten for children who are 4 years old by August 1st.  At All Saints Academy at St. Ferdinand Preschool, all children must be toilet trained.
