Preschool Ages 3, 4, and 5

Holy Cross Catholic Preschool Program offers a nurturing environment, where students are encouraged to engage in positive social interactions, use language for conflict resolution, and develop self-regulation/problem-solving skills. In our classrooms, our students grow creatively through hands-on learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate. Our program is based on the Creative Curriculum and the Diocese of Cleveland Curriculum, which is aligned with Early Learning Content Standards approved by the Ohio Department of Education. Our differentiated curriculum serves a broad range of needs and interests of our Preschool students. Our students have full use of our outdoor playground equipment, and an indoor gymnasium. 

Discover how your child will:

Grow in a faith-filled environment

 

Experience differentiated curriculum

 

Become self-motivated learner
