Play-Based Learning
Our programs help every child reach his or her full potential through a play and inquiry approach to learning. Children are naturally curious, and are involved in many different kinds of activities intentionally designed to help young learners explore, investigate, discover, and question the world around them. St. Mary School educator teams carefully observe the social, emotional, physical and intellectual interactions within the learning environment, while assessing your child's stages of development.
A Catholic Environment
St. Mary School is proud to offer kindergarten programming within a faith-based learning environment. Parents and children will experience a Catholic environment that focuses on creating a school community that gives witness to the teachings of Jesus and celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the permeation of Catholic values throughout all curricular areas. We believe that children are precious gifts of God who are encouraged to reach their fullest potential. St. Mary School staff welcome families into the school community and recognize that parents and caregivers are the primary educators in faith. Kindergarten children will have opportunities for expressing lived faith through school based social justice and service opportunities.
