PHILOSOPHY
Parents are the primary educators of their children. The role of our program is to assist the parents in the care of their children. Every child is special and unique; therefore, all children need to feel safe and know that they are loved. Each child is special and Unique. At Holy Family Catholic School feelings count, their sadness is comforted, their joy is shared, and their accomplishments are praised.
Holy Family Catholic School is committed to provide a year around program starting this year. We provide many opportunities for your child to learn letters, sounds, rhyming words, numbers, and develop problem solving skills. Children are encouraged to develop their pre-writing skills by having the opportunity to journal, illustrate their work, write their name, and start putting letters together to make words. Lessons include both teacher-led instruction and time for children to interact with one another by learning through play. We limit our Pre-K 5 class to 20 students.
On behalf of the teachers and staff of Holy Family Preschool Program, we thank you for your interest in Holy Family Catholic School Program and look forward to working with you.

CURRICULUM
Holy Family Preschool uses the Frog Street Toddler and Preschool curriculum. This curriculum provides the children with a range of age-appropriate activities which help build a foundation for long time learning. The Frog Street curriculum allows children to be active learners by teaching through the use of learning Centers and Manipulatives.
Learning Centers are activity areas set up in the classroom which facilitate learning. Several activities are offered at the same time and children are allowed and encouraged to choose the area which interests them. Teachers work with small groups of children or one on one through learning centers. Children are provided art activities, block activities, dramatic play activities, music/movement activities, and outdoor activities. The curriculum used at Early learning Center addresses the whole child and his/her individual needs.
ILLNESS AND MEDICATION POLICY
If your child has fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, he/she may not come to school. If your child gets sick while at school, you will be notified to pick up your child immediately. Please make sure that the emergency form is always kept up to date.
