4 - Year Old Kindergarten

At the Columbia St. Mary's Children's School, your child will learn the skills he or she needs to succeed. Our pre-Kindergarten program will help you and your child prepare for elementary school—and beyond.

Our 4-year-old Kindergarten program is ideal for families who live in a district without a pre-Kindergarten program, and for those who prefer small groups for their child or prefer one safe place for their child all day. To enter the program, your child should be 4 years old by September 1 (exceptions can be made).

Basic skills in reading, writing, and math are among the most important skills your child will need. In addition to teaching these basic skills, our curriculum emphasizes interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, and social development.

Our program focuses on:

Social, emotional, and physical development
Language development
Math readiness
Reading readiness
Letters and sounds
Numbers
Self-awareness

We will motivate your child to talk, interact, move, count, sing, draw, learn, and experiment. Using weekly themes, hands-on activities, and field trips, we help your child explore while having a lot of fun! A year-end graduation ceremony celebrates your child's accomplishments.

Hours: 8:30 am to 11:30 am, Monday - Thursday with optional enrichment Fridays
Before-school and after-school care available— ideal for families with transportation issues
Tuition based on hours scheduled per week
