Did you know that the cost of full-day kindergarten at St. Peter is comparable to that of half-day kindergarten at the public school when combined with busing for additional hours of care? At St. Peter, your child will spend the whole day on our campus, even for extended care before and after school. Knowing that your child will remain safely at St. Peter for the entire day not only gives you peace of mind but also provides a continuity of staff and friends for your child throughout the day, in addition to an excellent education!
Our full-day kindergarten program provides an opportunity not available in area public schools. With twice as much time spent in the classroom, children have the opportunity to really prepare for their 1st-grade experience. Students experience repeated exposure to concepts and added enrichment time through hands-on projects to extend their learning. Full-day kindergarten also provides time to develop socially through additional play and time to work on the social and emotional skills that are so important as they move through school. Our teachers provide an environment where children feel secure, loved, and respected, just what they need to explore, experiment, and learn to be positive leaders. Our Christian-based programs strive to instill a life-long love of learning and a quest for knowledge among elementary school students.
St. Peter is future-focused; start here and lead anywhere! Our fully enriched curriculum with art, music, technology and social-emotional learning intentionally develops a person to lead with a Christian influence.
Kindergarten parents have lots of questions, and that’s ok! You want your child to have the best experience as they start school. You may have heard today’s kindergarten is more like first grade and wonder if your child will be ready or maybe you feel confident your child is prepared to thrive in kindergarten but just want to know what to expect from a typical school day.

As a universal baseline measure, St. Peter used District 25’s yearly objectives as the foundation to write the assessments. Every student in the school passed these benchmarks and many excelled, demonstrating exemplary academic growth. These results are attributed to the qualified and dedicated staff, God-gifted student body, and tremendous parent involvement of our St. Peter community.
