The staff and parents at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Preschool is dedicated to providing a Christ-centered foundation of life-long learners in a safe, healthy, nurturing environment.
St. Joan of Arc Preschool’s philosophy is based on the Reggio Emilia approach to education.
We believe all children to be capable competent active participants with equal rights, and are co-constructors of their own knowledge.
They deserve authentic open ended, God created natural materials that provoke meaningful interactions, creativity, and learning.
These positive early learning experiences translate into future school and personal success.
School success is heavily dependent on the child’s self-esteem and positive attitude toward the learning process.
Young children learn best by doing. Young learners require active thinking and experimenting to understand how things work and to learn firsthand about the world in which they live.
Play provides this foundation for learning. Play is the work of the young child.
St. Joan of Arc Preschool believes that the acquisition of Catholic Christian values leads to a more spiritually balanced human being.
It is these values that will guide a child throughout his/her whole life.
This Preschool strives to not only instill a lifetime love of learning, but a love of the Lord as well.
