Holy Cross Academy Preschool is magical learning adventure
for three to five year olds

With a play-based, developmental curriculum that meets the needs of each child, their first school experiences will be positive and joyful.  They’ll learn about kindness, listening, friendship, and self-reliance.  They’ll learn how to take care of themselves and the feeling of completing tasks by themselves.  Along with building a strong sense of self, they’ll also feel safe - physically, intellectually, and socially. 
 
Preschool students learn how to write their names, recognize shapes, colors, numbers, and letters within the first year.  They’ll show their skills in using scissors, paints, and different mediums. They will learn songs, prayers, and poems and recite them with pride.
 
The Pre-Kindergarten Class builds on the skills they learned last year and focuses on helping each child get ready for Kindergarten. You will see their progress in handwriting, foundations of math, imagination, and social understanding in the many books they create and bring home at the end of the year.  This year our PreK students also visit the “big school” for all their specials: Art, Music, Spanish and Gym and Guidance.
 
Early Childhood is the most important time of their lives.  The brain is developing at super speed.  The skills and competencies children learn now will guide them throughout life.  It truly means so much to us that they become strong leaders with kind and gentle hearts.
