Preschool
Dear Pre-Kindergarteners;
Thank you for a wonderful year! I hope you had as much fun as I did growing and learning. Have a wonderful summer!
Love, Miss Ransom
Welcome to Christ the Divine Teacher Catholic Academy’s Preschool Program. I know that we will have a very exciting year filled with new experiences, learning, and excitement. If you have any questions about the preschool program, please feel free to ask.
Have you heard? Pre-Kindergarten is going to five days a week next year (2010-2011 School Year). This will be held Monday - Friday 8:30-11:30. If five does doesn't fit into your schedule, you can also choose three days a week for your 4 year old child. This will be held at the same time (8:30-11:30) but on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If your child will be four on or before September 1, 2010, and you would like to learn more information about our program, please email me, or contact the school office. Thanks!
Next year the preschool program will be taught by Mrs. Rebecca Gitter. Mrs. Gitter recently graduated from Duquesne University with a duel Master's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. If you have any questions pretaining to the preschool program, you may contact the school office or myself, and we will forward all questions to Mrs. Gitter. Thanks!
