St. Paul’s Preschool Program is designed to nurture children spiritually and academically at their developmentally appropriate level. At St. Paul, we focus on the child’s social and emotional growth and physical and mental development, thus meeting the needs of the whole child. We believe that every child who enters our program is a unique and special gift from God, and that it is our privilege and responsibility to help him know that he is loved and cared for by our Lord Jesus Christ. Along with being state-licensed, we follow the Kansas State Readiness Standards.
Students are welcomed into a loving environment by professional staff to help them transition to a classroom setting. Each age has its own classroom that includes developmentally appropriate learning stations, and our school also has a spacious playground area with features for all ages.
We also offer an extended-childcare program both before and after school for children ages 3 and up who are potty trained. Our extended care hours begin at 6:30 am until school start for the morning session, and 3:00 pm until 5:30 pm for the afternoon session.
We encourage and welcome parents to be involved in all aspects of our program.
