Preschool and Full Day Pre Kindergarten

St. Leo the Great Pre School and Pre Kindergarten programs are designed to actively engage children so they will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to enter primary school ready to achieve and excel. We strive to satisfy a child's need to know, achieve, to belong, feel safe and secure, and to develop self – esteem. Each program builds upon the next giving our littlest ones a strong foundation of knowledge, skills, and social and emotional growth in order to be well prepared for that very important year of kindergarten.
