Preschool Goal

The Preschool’s goal is to provide a quality religious educational program for our young children. The Preschool provides a curriculum that enhances the social, intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual development of each child. The Preschool is open to 3 & 4/5 years old of the community.

Classes

St. Joseph Preschool has a 3 year old class and a 4/5 year old class. The four/five year old class meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 to 11:30 am. Tuition is $90.00 per month. The three year old class meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 to 11:30 am. Tuition is $80.00 per month. There is a $35.00 non-refundable registration fee for each family. Our school year calendar follows the calendar of the Ball-Chatham school district. If Ball-Chatham is closed for weather, we are closed as well. For more information visit the Preschool Registration page.

Preschool Fundraising

The Preschool is planning to participate in the Bergner's Community Days fundraiser during the 2009 - 2010 school year. We have participated in this fundraiser in the past and have had an excellent response. We appreciate the support that our Preschool parents as well as our church community have given this fundraiser. Thank you to all for making our fundraiser successful in the past! We are looking forward to another successful year.

The Preschool will be collecting Campbell Soup Labels throughout the school year and another very special fundraising project will be offered in November/December..
