The school year ends in May, but we keep in touch over the summer with several playtime dates at Simmons Park on Clifton Road in Bethel Park.
Each year in early August, new students get to meet and greet preschool classmates, parents and teachers before school begins in our preschool playground. This annual picnic gives children and parents an opportunity to get acquainted with their soon-to-be best friends. Come and join us for playtime at the park and a snack. Your whole family is most welcome to join us!
Never underestimate the faith of a child…
Over the years, so many parents and grandparents have said how much their preschoolers have learned about God and the Catholic faith from our staff. We are constantly inspired to hear stories from the children about praying with their families at mealtime, coming to Mass and seeing their friends or staff from Preschool, sharing a moment at our Prayer Circle to pray for a sick relative or pet. We see a wonderful sense of awe and amazement from the children. They truly understand that Jesus is a big part of their life, something that we adults sometimes take for granted. We learn to experience our faith through the eyes of a child. We look forward to working with your children and giving them a solid foundation of faith for the future.
