Preschool

Thank you for your interest in St. Joseph Early Learning Ministry.

Here at St. Joseph, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child – physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually, so that each child will develop a lifelong love for learning and become a responsible Christian member of our society. This is done through a quality early childhood environment, which includes small class sizes, low teacher-child ratio, developmentally appropriate learning activities, and learning through play.

We are proud to be a Paths to Quality Level 3 Registered Ministry accredited by AdvancED Early Learning Standards. We believe that this further defines our commitment to a quality early learning program.

We hope that the following information will answer some of your questions. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!
