About this preschool

St. Joachim Preschool serves three and four year old children, as well as transitional kindergarten students, with a curriculum rooted in Catholic faith and Christian values. The program combines academic instruction with play-based learning to develop students spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally.

Philosophy
St. Joachim School and Parish recognize parents and guardians as their children's primary educators. Together, we endeavor to educate the whole student. Based upon a firm foundation of Christian values and beliefs, we strive to achieve this goal by challenging the student spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally. St. Joachim serves students from many different cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. We foster an appreciation and respect for diversity that contributes to the development of community. We aspire to develop self-aware individuals who recognize their unique gifts and who use their talents for the good of others. We provide a solid academic curriculum and religious instruction that is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the traditions of the Catholic Church. As facilitators of learning, we prepare students to become lifelong learners and to be faith-filled people who actively participate in their church, in their communities, and in the world.
