In preschool, children build a strong foundation in social, pre-academic, and general life skills that will give them a leg up in school and beyond. Research shows that children who graduate from preschool have improved academic readiness and are better prepared to move on to kindergarten. In preschool, your child also learns about himself and how he fits into his family, his class, and his community. Social studies also include learning about the languages and cultures of other children in the class. The St. Matthew Parish School’s preschool program motivates young learners to grow their skills in decision making and problem solving while encouraging each child to reach their full individual potential. At St. Matthew Parish School, students gain experiences that focus on the growth of the whole child.
Our Preschool includes:
- A Rigorous Curriculum
- Faith Formation
- Growth of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
- Music, Art and Technology
- Introduction to Spanish
Faith formation begins in preschool and continues through 8th grade. Our students attend Mass weekly and actively participate in the liturgy. Students in 2nd grade are prepared for their First Reconciliation and First Communion. Our 8th grade students receive catechism for their confirmation. We are blessed that our Pastor, Priests and Deacons help to teach religion classes whenever possible.
St. Matthew Parish School's small class sizes allow for a strong connection with each student and create an opportunity for interaction with students and peers. Teachers are able to utilize multiple strategies to engage and ensure students stay focused, as well as, when possible, tailor their instruction to the needs of each individual student.
