A Joyful First Step in Lifelong Learning

Preschool is often a child’s first experience in a structured setting. We believe that experience should be full of joy, warmth, and purpose.

At Holy Cross, we partner with families to create a place where little ones can grow in the values you’re nurturing at home.

Here, preschoolers discover that they’re wonderfully made by God, that learning is fun, and that they belong in a caring community.

Curriculum Highlights

Preschoolers at Holy Cross learn through play, routines, and discovery — with Jesus at the center.

Bible stories, songs, and prayers

Early literacy through read-alouds, rhymes, and pre-writing

Math readiness using games, counting, patterns, and math talks where children share how they got their answers

Science and nature through exploration and observation

Creative expression through music, art, and sensory play

Social-emotional learning and daily skill-building

Daily large motor play

Balance of group time, individual play, rest, and movement

Faith

Children grow in understanding God’s love through daily Jesus Time and bi-monthly Chapel. They hear Bible stories, sing songs, pray together, and discover they’re wonderfully made by God

STEM

Our preschoolers develop problem-solving skills and an engineering mindset through exploration and play. They build with blocks, sort and count, ask questions, and discover how things work.

Athletics

Preschoolers build coordination and strength through active play and movement. They run, jump, dance, play on the playground, and discover the joy of using their growing bodies.

Fine Arts

Children express themselves through art, music, and creative play. They paint, sing, create with clay, play instruments, and learn that they’re creative because God made them that way. They use their eyes, ears, smell, and taste to explore the world around them and appreciate these gifts from God.
