Curriculum
Both classes offer developmentally appropriate activities focusing on Religion, social-emotional development, language and literacy, English-language development, mathematics, visual and performing arts, physical development, health, history-social sciences, music and movement, and science! We are also proud members of the Marin Quality Counts Program. At Saint Raphael's Preschool, we provide a healthy and safe environment for your child. We also provide numerous activities for active, engaging, hands-on learning.
Our "Angels" class focuses on the transition to a group experience for our 3-year-old children paying special attention to their social/emotional development and adjustment into a school setting. We offer the children a variety of experiences in art, science, math, dramatic play, music and movement, books/stories/literacy, large/small motor development, and endless social interactions with teachers and their peers.
Our "Saints" class (Pre-Kindergarten) continues on with what has already begun in our Angels class and focuses on offering our 4-year-old children opportunities to develop their readiness for Kindergarten. We sing, explore, draw, create, and learn the letter sounds while covering various themes throughout our year as the children grow in the many skills that will support their success in Kindergarten.
