Our Preschool
Program is designed to encourage intellectual, spiritual,
emotional, social, and physical development, according to the
philosophy and objectives already in use at St. Christine
Elementary School.
Our Preschool
provides a safe and trusting atmosphere for all children.
Growth and development flourish as each child is encouraged to
explore new surroundings and develop creative expression.
Through curiosity, free play, and new learning activities, a
child’s self esteem and self confidence are promoted, and
social and language skills are developed.
In an atmosphere of
Christian love, each child is treated in a respectful manner
by the teachers and staff members, and is encouraged to
respect the rights of others by treating each other in a
gentle way, and to accept the needs of others through
cooperative play, with emphasis on good manners and sharing.
The Preschool
includes separate programs for three year olds, four year
olds and early five's. It is located in Seton Center. The calendar year runs from early
September through the end of May. Staff members are degreed/certified and are accredited by the Ohio Department of
Education and the Diocese of Youngstown.
The curriculum includes reading and math readiness, phonics, social studies, science, music, art, and religion. Hands-on learning experiences are provided with numerous enrichment and fun-filled activities.
Enrollment in our
Preschool is open to any child, whether members of the parish
or not, and regardless of race or religion. Children can be
enrolled for a full or half day session, according to the
Preschool program.
After School Care is available in the Elementary School building.
