Philosophy

St. Angela’s Preschool is dedicated to the development and education of the “whole” preschool child. Our loving and nurturing co-educational Catholic environment allows students to thrive at an individual pace. The curriculum contains teacher-directed and self-initiated opportunities for students to build & practice pre-k readiness skills. Teachers work in teams to design and implement lessons and activities that meet the needs of the whole class as well as the unique needs of each student.
