PRESCHOOL
St. Martin of Tours Preschool provides a warm, joyful, and nurturing environment for a young child. Learning takes place with an emphasis on assisting children to feel valued and loved by God and by those around them. The staff provides experiences which encourage the child’s innate curiosity and excitement about learning. Children can develop and grow in a loving, Christ-centered, family environment.
Our Preschool Program
All areas of our curriculum are designed to support the growth and development of the whole child. We provide children with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, independence, and confidence. Children learn through exploring, observing, listening, touching, and engaging with the world around them.
Our learning experiences include math, science, music, art, dramatic play, language and literature, as well as opportunities to develop both large and fine motor skills.
​
Our classroom environment encourages children to learn at their own pace while building social skills, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and a love of learning. Through play, exploration, and guided activities, children are encouraged to develop their God-given gifts in a caring and nurturing Catholic school environment. Our dedicated staff is committed to the development and well-being of young children and is trained in Early Childhood Education.
