Kindergarten

This important first year of school lays the foundation for years to come.  We want that foundation to be a positive one for you and your child.  Our goal is to ease your child into this full day and also give your child a variety of experiences to learn through play and our comprehensive curriculum.  We want each child to grow in their love and understanding of God and our Faith.

Philosophy:

St. Mary Catholic Community School is a community where Christ is the center and where, through the collaborative efforts of all, a Catholic atmosphere is created and the students learn to integrate academic knowledge with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. A major emphasis is devoted to providing for the uniqueness of each child intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and above all spiritually, in preparation for an active, Christian life-style. St. Mary Catholic Community School maintains the philosophy that all children can learn when nurtured in ways which meet individual needs. To this end, the staff is dedicated. Their effort, combined with individual motivation and cooperation from the home, will result in the development of the unique potential of each student.

Our Curriculum

St. Mary’s Kindergarten offers an extensive curriculum that helps prepare them for their first grade experience.

Our faith based religion is taught daily.  The children learn Catholic prayers attend Mass weekly, and are taught Christian behaviors.

​

The “SuperKids” reading program is fun and challenging, teaching the children all the reading and writing skills necessary for success in 1st grade.  The children take the Early Literacy Test to monitor progress and are exposed to the Accelerated Reading Program.

​

Our math program includes learning and writing numbers to 100, patterning, subtraction, and addition facts to 10.

​

To make our program well rounded, we teach science and social studies and the children attend computer, art, gym, music and library weekly.  We have SmartBoards in every classroom to enhance our lessons with student interactive involvement.

​

Kindergarten participates in the hot lunch program, school wide assemblies, school Christmas program, field day, cooking activities, and many themed days.

We take multiple educational field trips to provide experiences that our students will love.
