Preschool

Our youngest learners exhibit wonder and scatter sunshine everywhere they go. Naturally inquisitive, preschool children love to learn about the world they live in through hands-on activities, play, and song. Nazareth Preschool is a beautiful setting where your little one will experience the gift of learning encircled by love.

Nazareth Preschool Philosophy

Nazareth Preschool’s staff provides a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for our students. Enriching our Catholic faith with simple and concrete experiences is an important part of our program. Through our faith-based curriculum, our students participate in daily prayer and community stewardship. Our students have the opportunity to learn and grow during both teacher managed/structured activities as well as organized play activities. Teachers stimulate academic growth by focusing on the whole child, spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and culturally. The potential and creativity of all children are vital as they continue their journey as lifelong learners. At Nazareth Preschool, we consider it a privilege to partner with parents in fostering each child’s success as they become Disciples of Christ within the Church family and community.

Preschool Classes

We offer the following two preschool classes:

Sunflowers (ages 3–4)
Buzzy Bees (ages 4–5)

Our Days

You’ll find the children learning about religion, math, science, social studies, and foreign language. Other lessons may stir their interest in writing, computers, reading, art, health, music, and movement. Through positive guidance, the children continue to master cognitive, spiritual, physical, social, and emotional skills in preparation for Nazareth School.

Our Abundant Space

We enjoy the blessing of an abundance of beautiful space for both our indoor and outdoor activities. Inside, the children’s daily experiences take them from their classroom to a comfortable nap room and a music room for musical and physical expression. Outside, our spacious grounds provide the children with playgrounds complete with toys, play equipment, and an inviting lawn for more social interaction.

Our Preschool Garden

Additionally, we share a beautiful garden with Nazareth friends in the kindergarten class. In this special place, we learn about the many gifts God provides us in nature.
