pre-kindergarten 3 "Little Saints" Program

The goal of Pre-Kindergarten at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral School is to allow each

child to grow spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Students are taught

Christian values through the encouragement of sharing, good decision making, taking turns, and

being respectful to classmates and teachers. Learning is both teacher-directed and

student-directed. Children are challenged to meet ambitious milestones.

Art, crafts, and music are incorporated into all subject areas.
