About the kindergarten and new facilities
Sacred Heart Preschool, which offers a unique learning experience for three and four year olds, draws much of its inspiration from the words of its founder, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barratt: “Young people are our number one priority. They carry the seeds of the future.With this in mind, we have created new innovative classrooms and outdoor learning spaces with a focus on mind and body development, and we look forward to welcoming preschoolers to classes on our main campus later this month.
Two of our largest classrooms ensure students feel safe and nurtured while exploring the world around them through play. Each indoor classroom features a multi-level loft and sensory stations for hands-on experiences. Our award-winning CRG-designed outdoor learning spaces allow for ever-changing experiences and exploration, fostering a love of learning and nature. Our goal is to build a foundation for lifelong, respectful learning that shapes the leaders of tomorrow.
Utilizing best-in-class teaching methods from caring educators, our age-appropriate approach to preschool education emphasizes purposeful play, social-emotional learning and academic excellence. Part of our elementary division, our preschool, under the direction of department chair and Sacred Heart alumna Maureen Rutkowski, ensures that each child's personal and unique needs and strengths are met. Whether it's our foundational world language program, early literacy and math skills development or outdoor space, these youngest learners are literally “carrying the seeds of the future,” says Maureen. “They are cultivating curiosity and practicing self-regulation and decision-making.”
