For Parents

Welcome to St. Catherine’s Preschool. We know that this will be another wonderful year full of many blessed memories and that you will help us make them.

The main purpose of our preschool program is to give your children a positive learning experience. We believe that a child thrives and grows in all aspects when they are in a faith filled, loving, nurturing environment. We feel that developing a child’s self confidence by positive reinforcement and actions is the best approach. In order to develop each child at their appropriate age level, St. Catherine’s Preschool.

The entire staff of St. Catherine’s Preschool sincerely cares about each child. We are committed in seeing that each child meets with success and enjoys learning. We are dedicated to providing a safe and Christian atmosphere where love and acceptance are demonstrated by our words and actions.

We encourage and invite parental involvement in all activities at St. Catherine’s Preschool. Your encouragement and participation with your children will greatly enhance their preschool experience.

How you ask? It's a lot of different types of activities. Some parents and families may have the time to get involved in many ways. Other may only have the time for one or two activities. But whatever your level of involvement, remember: If you get involved and stay involved, you can make a world of difference.

Broadly speaking, family involvement in your child's education can mean: Reading a bedtime story to your preschool child...checking homework every night...getting involved in "PTA"...discussing your child's progress with teachers...helping your school to set challenging academic standards...limiting TV viewing to no more than two hours on school nights...becoming an advocate for better education in your community and state...and insisting on high standards of behavior for children.

Or, family involvement can be as simple as asking your children, "How was school today?" But ask every day. That will send your children the clear message that their schoolwork is important to you and that you expect them to learn.
