Corpus Christi Prekindergarten Program

Goals and Philosophy

Corpus Christi provides a nurturing environment where learning is guided through hands-on interaction. We engage your child in a fun, exciting, and inspiring learning experience and prepare your child with skills and concepts necessary for his or her next steps in education. We challenge each child on an individual level, to develop emotional, physical, spiritual health, and encourage a love for reading, math, and science and concepts.

Our mission is to promote the message and teaching of Jesus Christ through day-to-day activities, schedule educational events, and guided play. Our Catholic faith is incorporated into the activities each day.
