This program offers young children an opportunity to interact with their peers so that they can begin to learn about sharing and caring for others. They learn about the world around them through play.
Our purpose is to provide a Christian environment that is safe and conducive to good health where children work and play together. Our aim is to offer opportunities for the children to grow intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually. We hope to achieve these goals by encouraging an enthusiasm for learning through:
- sharing a daily time of devotion through Bible stories and chapel experiences
- giving each child an awareness of God's love for him/her
- "hands on" exploring
- activities which develop large and small muscle coordination and motor skill
- participating in group experiences, sharing and playing together
Our Parents Day Out program is for infants; six (6) weeks through two (2) years of age.
We offer 2, 3, and 5-day classes. You may choose a Half Day; which is 8:45 am - noon, or a Full Day which is 8:45 am - 2:45 pm. Early Care begins at 7:30 am and Extended Care until 5:00 pm.
Both Early and Extended care are options.

The Preschool program offers children readiness opportunities to prepare them for kindergarten. We focus on language development, listening-skills, large and small motor development as well as number, color and alphabet recognition. The rooms offer several different learning centers and throughout the year they are exposed to numerous units of study which challenge their creative and academic development. In addition to classroom activities, the children go to Music class and Motor Movement class. We have a unique outdoor playground that offers a variety of play equipment.
The children begin each day in chapel. We sing songs, hear stories about Jesus and learn the importance of prayer in our lives. Our intention is to welcome young children to God's family during this short worship service.
Our program is a nurturing introduction to "school" for young children. We hope that you will give us the opportunity to serve your family in taking care of your child.
Ages: 3 - 5 years.
For 3 year old Preschool, you may choose from a 2 day(T/H), 3 day(M/W/F) or 5 day class.
For 4 year old Preschool, you may choose a 3 day (M/W/F) or 5 day class.

We, the faith community of St. Gregory the Great Catholic School, in keeping with the Catholic tradition, nurture in our children and one another, spiritual, personal and academic growth through prayer and Christ-like service.
St. Gregory the Great Catholic School endorses its educational ministry through the three objectives of personal spirituality, social justice, and a strong academic program in accordance with Catholic values. This commitment extends to building Christian community and to fostering Christian service.
We endeavor to promote the development of each child according to his/her spiritual growth and intellectual aptitude. As a Christian community, we take a personal interest in each student’s emotional needs, physical needs and cultural background. We partner with the family in the education and foundation of the whole child.
In the practical application of our school philosophy we, the faculty and staff of St. Gregory the Great Catholic School, working with the home and the Church, endeavor to provide children with the experiences which will develop a character equal to the responsibilities of fundamental Christian living in the American democratic society.
