Preschool Program

Holy Name Preschool offers a developmentally appropriate setting that stimulates healthy growth in all areas of child development. This play- based program and its caring staff offer a variety of activities in all areas of development: large and small motor, language, cognitive, emotional, and social.

Program Goals

• To provide a warm, nurturing environment that encourages the development of the “whole child.”  
• To provide an environment that is based on successful experiences, which encourage all children to develop a healthy self-concept and positive self-esteem.
• To offer an environment that encourages children to develop their capabilities and interests at their own pace and according to their own needs.
• To provide an environment that provides the child with the opportunity to learn from concrete hands-on experiences as well as more abstract concept development.
• To provide opportunities for a lifetime of creative living and learning.

Curriculum

The preschool curriculum is based upon the State of Michigan, licensed Early Childhood Education benchmarks, which include: responsibility and self-help skills, dramatic play, singing, pre-math skills, art projects, story time, and computer exposure.
In keeping with the Catholic identity of the school, prayer and the development of our Catholic faith are part of the curriculum.
