Preschool

Nativity Preschool exists to provide children with a time to grow and develop, with respect for each child’s readiness. It provides hands on experiences through which children can make discoveries about the world, life and themselves. Its purpose is to present a well-rounded program of quality instruction that will help children develop a love of learning and build a solid foundation for future education.

Nativity Preschool School’s first emphasis is on social readiness: getting along well and playing well with others, following simple directions and listening well at circle time. The school then gives emphasis to teaching academic (kindergarten) readiness: recognizing and writing first name, reciting the alphabet, recognizing upper and lower case letters, beginning to hear letter sounds, counting from 1 through 10, recognizing numbers 1 through 10, recognizing shapes, identifying simple patterns, identifying colors, hearing rhyming words, learning opposites, making size comparisons, recognizing special relationships and sequencing.
