Welcome to Holy Child Preschool!

Where our only job is to meet the needs of your PRESCHOOLER

The staff at Holy Child Preschool begins every day with YOUR preschooler in mind. Our goal day-in and day-out is to meet the needs of your child. Your child isn’t a small sub-section of a larger elementary school. Your child is our only focus- there are no other age-group distractions within our school.

Experience the benefit of your child beginning their education at Holy Child Preschool:

• Holy Child Preschool is a private, tuition-based, established community program that has deep roots in the neighborhood.
• Holy Child Preschool is not affiliated with the DoE nor is it state or city-funded.
• The purpose of the Holy Child Preschool is to prepare your children for the elementary school experience-academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
