Early Childhood Education
A strong foundation from the start
Early childhood education is essential. Our school provides preschool, prekindergarten, transitional kindergarten and traditional kindergarten classes that prepare children for their next steps - in elementary school and beyond.

Holy Cross Preschool and Pre-K
A fun and safe learning environment for three to five year olds!
We believe a positive early childhood education will shape a child's attitude toward the future, and we work to ensure a nurturing environment where young children can thrive.
Our caring teachers welcome children from all faiths and backgrounds.
Your child's routine in our early childhood programs will incorporate time for both academics and play, both important as you child develops into the best version of themselves.
Daily schedules include play, story time, songs, large-group and small-group learning, recess, snack and more. Early childhood students also have access to our special including library, music and physical education.
Our curriculum helps young learns grow and learn what they need to know to become ready for school, including age-appropriate mathematics, literacy, science, social studies and art. This is in addition to the concepts of character - becoming a good friend to others and introducing themes surrounding Christ's love as well as practicing daily prayers.
Test scores show higher scores for our kindergarten students who attended pre-K compared with those who did not. Joining our early childhood program also gets your family access to our community resources and partners.
