St. Mary of the Lake Preschool (ages 3-5) begins the partnership between families and school by fostering developmentally appropriate learning based on our:

• Philosophy that “play is the work of young children”

• Belief in the essential building blocks for successful learning and living: making choices, solving problems and treating others respectfully

• Utilization of learning centers to build social, physical and academic skills through hands-on experiences
  

• Daily prayer and spiritual lessons which build a child’s awareness of God and celebrate His many gifts
