Ages 3 through 5
Saint Anselm School designed the curriculum for its Early Childhood Education Program (SAECEP) to meet the needs of the growing whole child. To meet those needs, the school provides activities to enhance each child’s spiritual, social, emotional, and physical development. It offers experiences in literature, science, art, music, and physical education to further enhance students’ social interaction and intellectual development. The school also provides the opportunity for students to attend gym, art, music, computer and library weekly.
Our preschool follows the curriculum recommended by the Diocese of Cleveland. This curriculum is aligned with and contains the standards as established by the Ohio Department of Education. In addition, the faculty and staff follow guidelines from the National Association for the Education of the Young Child. (NAEYC).
St. Anselm School offers two options for preschool students and their parents. Students in the three- and four-year-old programs can attend either a half or full day. The full day option is flexible; coming for as few or as many days as your child is enrolled. Full day drop in is also available.
Full day students may either bring their own packed lunch or buy a lunch from the school cafeteria. Full day students will rest for 45-60 minutes each afternoon. Each student should bring a yoga mat, blanket and pillow from home to be used during rest time. Rest items will be sent home periodically for cleaning and must be returned the following session.
