Kindergarten

Sacred Heart School offers a full-day program: 7:45 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Sacred Heart Kindergarten reflects Catholic, Christian values and attitudes. We work in partnership with parents to form our children in the Gospel and Catholic Tradition. We integrate faith formation and teachings of our Catholic faith into every facet of our program. The children develop a love for Jesus and try to “see” Him in each other.

Kindergarten is an important time for establishing the essential foundations for successful learning. Sacred Heart Kindergarten is structured in such a way as to respect the learning processes of each student and help the children reach their full potential -- intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Children learn through hands-on experiences and the use of manipulative materials. The instructional program is designed to encourage participation in individual as well as cooperative group learning activities.

You are welcome to visit our school during normal school hours (7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Please contact the school office to make arrangements.
