Divine Redeemer preschool empowers each student with the knowledge that he or she is a child of God. It fosters a love of learning, while nurturing the growth and development of the whole child — academically, spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally and creatively – in a safe and nurturing, child-centered and faith-based environment.
The preschool program is designed around the concept of educating the whole child. This includes fostering a child’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual and moral development. Our program is designed to be safe and nurturing and promotes optimal cognitive development and faith formation. Teachers engage in various types of instructional methods, including large and small groups, individual instruction and opportunities for student collaboration.
