Holy Child Preschool Program is licensed by the
New York City Department of Health,
We meet all of their regulations and requirements
for an early childhood program.
We do require all children entering our Preschool to
adhere to the NYC DOH requirements for immunizations.
We do NOT recognize religious exemptions for immunizations
The purpose of the Holy Child Pre-School is to prepare our
children for the elementary school experience
academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
We believe that each child is a unique person who
will grow and develop progressively according to
their own individual needs.
At Holy Child Pre-School we provide an enriched learning experience
in a supportive environment to encourage active learning.
These learning experiences will provide your child with the basic
concepts around which new knowledge can be built
as they develop and mature.
Above all we teach our preschoolers to feel God’s love
and importance in our lives.
Preschool Curriculum
The children in our program learn in a structured environment.
We believe that routine is an important element for preschoolers.
Our emphasis is on learning through group instruction, independent
and group play, hands-on experiences and experiments.
The curriculum encompases developing reading, language,
writing and math skills and learning about nature and science.
The following skills are also part of the learning process:
personal and social awareness,
fine and gross motor skills,
reasoning and concept development
Our 3 year old classes use Handwriting Without Tears for
letter recognition and writing skills.
Our 4 year old classes use The Letter People to
develop reading skills.
Our 3 and 4 year old preschoolers receive instruction in
Art, Science and History by specialized teachers.
The Preschoolers spend time in our outside playground and
indoor gym area to develop gross motor skills. Music and movement
is incorporated into the gym play.
Teachers and staff are trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid.
