Sacred Heart Preschool

We believe faith development begins at home, but is supported by our parish family. We believe that children need daily opportunities to live their faith.

We believe the entire center community includes the children, families, and parishioners. We all share the responsibility for educating, caring for, and ensuring the safety and security of each child that we serve.

We believe that each child is a gift from God and has the ability and the right to learn and grow in the faith.

We believe that family is the number one critical element needed for fostering the faith.

We believe that parents are the first teachers of their children. They should be involved and informed of the educational process.

We believe that parents deserve the support of the parish family in the faith formation of their children.

We believe that teachers/staff should be examples of the love of Jesus through the Christian lives that they lead. They must be committed to the philosophy of our school. Teachers/staff should also be qualified professionally and committed to continuing development of skills, methods, and theories of education.

We believe that our curriculum should be age-appropriate, meeting all the needs of all of our children: physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual.

We believe that the curriculum should be evaluated periodically to ensure continued development.

We believe instruction and assessment should reflect the curriculum and be periodically evaluated. Information regarding instruction and assessment should be provided to parents.

We believe current research in the areas of brain development and differentiated instruction should help to guide our planning.

We are accountable to children, parents and families, the parish, the diocese, ourselves, and ultimately to God.
