St. Mary’s Preschool
Director: Jane Fitzsimmons-Thomez
Aide: Karen Lindenbaum
St. Mary’s Preschool offers a nurturing and stimulating educational and social program for children from 3 to 5 years old, with age-appropriate lessons and activities grounded in Catholic values. We approach children as “active learners” who learn best from activities they plan and carry out themselves. We give parents the option of a two, three or four-day per week program, to best meet the needs of their child. Our goal is for your child’s first school experience to set him or her on a path to love learning and love coming to school.
