Religion

Religion is integrated within all aspects of our curriculum. In Preschool, we start each day with age-appropriate prayers of adoration and thanksgiving, to include singing and movement, as we praise God. In Pre-K, students attend 8:00am Friday Mass with the K-8 students after the first of the year.  We have prayerful celebrations in the classroom, in addition to our beautiful Holy Day celebrations, in which all children participate.

Faculty

Our preschool faculty consists of five highly qualified teachers who work as a team to provide a loving and caring environment for your child. As deemed by Community Care Licensing of the State of California, our student to teacher ratio is 1:12.   All of the teachers have completed the necessary requirements for:
