The philosophy of which St. Joseph the Worker Preschool is based centers upon providing a quality religious education program for our young children. In meeting this responsibility, our preschool will provide a curriculum that enhances the social, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual development of each child. A Christian environment, centered around acceptance and respect, will help the child develop a positive attitude toward God, others and learning.
The objectives of St. Joseph the Worker Preschool are as follows:
- to provide a quality education which will concentrate on the growth of each child spiritually, socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally.
- to provide an environment that is based on successful experiences, which encourages each child to develop a healthy self-concept and self-esteem.
- to provide an environment that promotes responsibility for one's actions and respect for others.
- to provide a curriculum aimed at preparing each child for kindergarten.
