St. Cecilia Preschool Mission:

Saint Cecilia Preschhol is an early childhood education program for children 3 to 5 years old. The preschool uses a thematic-based curriculum in which develpmentally appropriate themes are integrated through all subject areas. The learning themes incorporate Biblical stories as well as pre-reading, math, science, and social concepts. Foundations are laid in the Catholic faith as children experience a positive and loving learning environment. We welcome the support and participation of parents, as they are a child's first and best teachers.
