St. Patrick’s Pre School @ Assumption BVM School

Registration is now open for the 2022-2023 school year.  This school year marks over 30 years that
St. Patrick Preschool has offered a quality education to children in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and surrounding communities.  Our program provides learning experiences that are age and developmentally appropriate.   We welcome all faiths to our program.
 
Our mission at St. Patrick Preschool is to provide a quality Catholic early childhood program that promotes a safe and nurturing environment where each child can grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively.  We help the children develop a positive self-image and respect for others’ rights and feelings.  We help develop the child’s basic social skills through cooperative play, encourage the child to think and act independently to develop problem solving skills. 
 
The program meets the Early Learning Standard for Pre-Kindergarten set forth by the State of Pennsylvania.  The teaching of religion and God’s love is clearly manifested. We share the love of God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit through stories, music, crafts and prayer.
 
Some skills that the children will learn are:
recognize and write the their name
recite the alphabet
identify capital and lower case letters
recognize shapes, sizes and colors
count and recognize numbers
rhyme recognition

We begin and end each day with a prayer.  We encourage sharing during our play time.  We share a morning snack.  Our program also includes a daily weather and calendar review, many arts and crafts projects reinforcing our skills.  We also offer weekly show and tell, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Valentines parties. Monthly Scholastic Book Orders may be purchased. Our children perform a Christmas program and a Spring program to share with our families through songs what we learn.
