Preschool
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!

* Both programs go throughout the year from Labor Day, until the last week in May.
Weekly Schedules: Each week, a weekly schedule will be posted with information about the weekly events. There, you can find the weekly schedules and all other events pertaining to the preschool.

Both classrooms will begin learning about Lent and prepare for Easter. The pre-4's will continue learning about the letter L, while the pre-3's will learn about the letter S.
