Academic excellence in a caring environment
During these important years, students grow cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically as they prepare for the opportunities and challenges of kindergarten.
For every preschool child we welcome at St. Peter, we work to help them grow into a kindergartener poised for success because of all of the skills they acquire in their time with us. We recognize that every child is unique. So, we treat and celebrate each of them that way! Our dedicated staff of degreed, certified teachers will help your child grow at each age and stage of preschool and are dedicated to giving our youngest learners the love, care, and attention they need. Together, we will help to develop your child’s God-given abilities and talents to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.
We create a space where each child feels safe, loved, and nurtured by caring, compassionate teachers and staff. Over time, our preschoolers grow in their confidence, self-assurance, and self-sufficiency! Through our programs, curriculum, and personalized care, we equip kids to make a strong transition to kindergarten as we build a foundation for a lifetime of learning.

“Our boys are in their early days of what we expect will be many years at St. Peter, and we are already encouraged by the impact a Christian education has on their lives.”
