About our 3 & 4-year old program
Manhattan Catholic Schools offers a Pre-Kindergarten/Preschool program for 3 and 4 year olds. The program is designed to provide a safe, professional and quality accredited educational program. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum within the MCS Christian environment includes all areas of growth: religious, cognitive, language, physical, emotional and creativity.
3 year olds: 2-day (Tues/Thurs)7:38 am-10:08 am
4 year olds: 3-day (Mon/Wed/Fri) 7:38 am-10:38 am
5-day (Mon-Fri, morning OR afternoon)7:38am-10:38am or 11:30am-2:30pm
We also have childcare for those families enrolled in MCS interested in all-day care.
We will utilize "Splash into Pre-K" from Houghton-Mifflin for our instructional needs. Conscious Discipline helped develop "Splash into Pre-K". The staff will also include a Religion class during the day. We utilize the "Seeds" magazine from Phlaum Publishing as the PreK religion curriculum. Although Pre-K will not attend Mass with the rest of the school, they will be invited to Mass for special occasions. They attend some assemblies and programs during the year.
If you are interested in Pre-K for next year (2017-2018) and would like a tour of the facilities and more information, please contact the school.
