Our philosophy
Saint Raphael Catholic Preschool understands an appropriate early school experience offers a nurturing environment where children have the freedom to play, learn, and interact with one another, while discovering the wonders of God’s world in the course of a child-oriented day. The preschool provides children opportunities to form relationships—with God, teachers, and peers—and to grow in trust and respect, while recognizing the worth of every individual.
We recognize that young children learn effectively through discovery and exploration. Simultaneously, we extend children’s thinking and knowledge by providing activities and resources determined by age-appropriate learning goals. Children develop self-confidence in a learning environment that affords opportunities for success and understands that learning involves trial and error.

Our Goals

- To give each child ample opportunity to work and play independently, to learn to live effectively with himself and others, to develop a sense of identity and worth, to experience success, and to enrich and broaden all areas of the child’s development
- To provide a religious education program and faith experiences that will nurture the young child’s growth in love and knowledge of Christ
