At Holy Cross Catholic School, we believe that a child’s earliest school experiences set the foundation for a lifetime of learning. That’s why our Pre-K (Pre-SCHOOL) program provides a loving, faith-filled, and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.
Pre-K is a welcoming space where students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and develop confidence in their abilities. Rooted in Catholic values, we support each child academically, socially, and spiritually—helping them grow in kindness, respect, independence, and responsibility.

"Holy Cross has been amazing! My daughter started out in Pre-K during the '22-'23 SY, and it was awesome. It is so unique that the class participate in "electives" just like the rest of the school doing P.E., music, technology, and having library days. It is a great way to introduce little ones to school. Kindergarten was just as great this past year." ~ Parent, 2024

A day in the life...
A day in the life of a Pre-K student at Holy Cross Catholic School is filled with engaging activities, structured learning, and plenty of play. The day begins with table activities to ease into the morning, followed by circle time, where students build community, develop listening skills, and engage in early learning themes. Small group instruction allows for personalized learning, and movement breaks ensure that young learners stay active and energized.
Throughout the day, students enjoy a variety of enriching experiences, including music, library visits, P.E., and technology time, fostering a love for creativity and exploration.
The Haggerty curriculum strengthens phonemic awareness, building a strong foundation for early reading skills. Lunch and recess provide opportunities for socialization and outdoor play, while a short rest time helps recharge young minds.
The afternoon features open discovery, where students explore hands-on learning through play-based activities. The day concludes with a time for reflection, prayer, and sharing before dismissal.

social emotional development
At Holy Cross Catholic School, we know that a child’s academic success is deeply connected to their social and emotional development. In our Pre-K program, we focus on building confidence, independence, and strong interpersonal skills to help students thrive in the classroom and beyond. Children learn how to express emotions, create friendships, and develop problem-solving skills in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Mrs. Morley integrates social-emotional learning into daily lessons, helping students build resilience, kindness, and a sense of community from an early age.
We also believe that strong parent-teacher communication is essential to a child’s success. Families receive regular updates on classroom activities and student progress through newsletters, digital platforms, and teacher check-ins. Parents are encouraged to participate in school events, volunteer opportunities, and parent-teacher conferences, creating a collaborative and supportive school-home relationship.
