OUR MISSION
Recognizing that all men, women, and children are called to build God's kingdom on earth, the mission of The St. Francis of Assisi Preschool is to reach out to the least among us and to provide a faith enriched environment where the young children of St. Francis Parish can begin their life faith journey as young Catholic Christians. In striving to carry out this mission, the Center will endeavor to help parents become and remain involved with their child's spiritual, physical, social and intellectual development.

To support these areas, the Preschool's Objectives are:

• To provide age and developmental appropriate activities
• To create opportunities to Experience Catholic Tradition
• To foster the development of a beginning relationship with God
• To partner with parents as the "first teachers in faith"
