About Us
Mary Queen of Heaven Preschool, in partnership with parents and with the loving support of our parish community, offers a Christ-centered early learning environment.
Since no two children learn in the same way, we offer multiple pathways for social, academic, and spiritual development. We provide an educational experience that honors differences and focuses on the Gospel values of love, justice, peace, and service.
We strive to educate the whole child.

First, we look at the age and maturity to determine what they can handle. Then we assess how the class schedule fits into your family’s needs.
We will do our best to accommodate all requests and work with you to do what is best for your child.
What are the hours and days of the school programs?

What will my child learn? How will I know?
We use both Creative Curriculum and Multiple Intelligence Curriculum, each week engaging the seven natural intelligences, strengthening them in each of our children.
The weekly objectives will be detailed in lesson plans that will be posted on the hall bulletin board. You will receive an Early Childhood Assessment two times a year.
We will hold Parent-Teacher Conferences twice a year, when you can view your child’s portfolio and formally visit with the teacher.
Will my child have fun?
We believe that children learn through play.
Our curriculum will be built on activities that foster children’s curiosity about the world around them.
