Academic Focus
Our students will learn language and literacy basics along with mathematical skills to help develop their learning patterns which will prepare them for kindergarten. We focus on an academic curriculum with writing, the alphabet, numbers, patterns, shapes, listening, speaking, literature and preparing to read. The school's curriculum follows the Diocesan standards that are based on the State and National standards for early childhood education.

Personal and Social Growth
Each child will develop and explore their approach to learning. They learn about themselves, self-control and interactions with other children. Their explorations will include group activities, activity transitions, taking turns, and conflict resolution with adult assistance. We will work to develop their gross and fine motor skills through play and planned activities.
Our Mother of Sorrows preschoolers have 6th grade "buddies" who work with them on community service activities and accompany them to church. The 6th graders help the preschool children to make sandwiches for the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen. It is an opportunity for all of the children to learn about giving back to our community. The preschoolers build a wonderful friendship with their "buddies" through many activities--jog-a-thon, plays, reading books, fun activities and weekly walks to church. They all look forward to the time that they spend together!
