Pre-Kindergarten
Our robust Pre-Kindergarten program serves as a gateway to the Cathedral Community.
Grounded in Catholic Traditions, Pre-Kindergarten establishes a strong foundation for the children to become life-long learners with focused introductions to core subjects as well as specialty programs. Engaging and interactive lessons introduce beginning literacy and math skills, as well as Religion, Science, Art, Music, and Spanish. Students grow their learning stamina through both group and individual projects, exercises and experiences.
Weaving prayer and play with learning and sharing, our Pre-Kindergarten students (and their parents) create friendships to carry them through their years at Cathedral.
Our Pre-Kindergarten is a 5 full-day a week program and students applying for Pre-Kindergarten must be four years old on or before September 1st and fully toilet trained.
