Saint Albert the Great Preschool “Where the Light of Christ Shines”
Mission Our mission at Saint Albert the Great School is to work with families, to educate each child to know, believe and live the Catholic faith and to continue lifelong learning.
Philosophy The first years of life are a vital importance to a child’s growth and development. Foundations are laid that influence their self-acceptance and ability to relate to others and respond positively to the environment. Family relationships provide a young child with the best model for developing attitudes, values and behavior. Interactions with other adults and children are extremely important and promote ways for a child to relate to the world around them.
Early childhood education provides the transition from home to a school atmosphere. Research indicates these early years are crucial for learning, and in fact, form the basis for all future learning. A Catholic preschool program provides a creative learning environment for young children. Interaction with other children and adults, in an atmosphere of Christian love and concern, promotes the healthy development of each child. Learning and play activities encourage spiritual, intellectual, social and physical growth.
The child should:
• Develop a positive self-image and acknowledge his/her self-worth Develop basic social skills
• Increase independence • Develop a trust in adults other than his/her parents/guardians • Enjoy being part of a group and accept the need to share and cooperate
Respect the right of others and defend his/her own rights • Develop a desire to learn • Become aware of the fact that he/she is a child of God and will grow in His love
Attend school on a regular basis
Goals • To communicate the gospel message of
Jesus • To provide instruction in religious truths and
values in such a way that they become an integral part of the daily routine
• To present an academic and religious program that includes religion, math and reading readiness, science, social studies, technology integration, art appreciation, music and library.
We understand choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. Our mission is to work with families, to educate each child, to know, believe and live the Catholic faith, and to continue lifelong learning.
