The Saint Thomas the Apostle Pre K program is a hands-on, faith-filled, learning program. A typical day consists of morning circle time and prayer. After circle time the children are separated into groups and begin their day.
The children have specialized teachers for:
Computers
Art
Gym
Health
Library
Music
Spanish
The day includes small group instruction, snack time and individualized choice/play time within a carefully monitored environment. Full day students have lunch followed by naptime, an art project, and outdoor playtime (weather permitting).
Our staff includes one full-time teacher and the age-appropriate teacher/child ratio staffing for teacher aides. Our classroom and entire school facility are beautifully maintained and constantly upgraded to meet the needs of our preschoolers.
