Saint Paul Catholic Preschool
Saint Paul Catholic School proudly presents our preschool expansion! Our preschool is a faith- based learning environment where your child’s spiritual growth and love of learning are cultivated and nurtured. Your child will explore foundational reading skills and introductory math concepts through a multi-sensory play-based approach.
In addition to our Monday through Friday full day preschool, we are adding half day morning and afternoon classes. For our full day and half day morning sessions, students must be 4 by August 1.
In our afternoon program, students must be 3 by August 1. We are very excited about our expansion! Members of the community may tour the Preschool Building (formerly Tiny Tim’s).
If you would like to schedule a tour, or have any questions, please call 219-462-3374.
