St. Joseph Catholic School offers a comprehensive two- and three-day curriculum with the goal of providing a Christian-based educational experience contributing to the spirtual, physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of preschool age children. A two-day program is offered for children three years of age by September 15th in the year of entry. The two-day program is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:05-11:00 AM. A three-day program is offered for children four years of age by September 15th in the year of entry. The three-day program is held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:05-11:00 AM.
We accomplish our goals by providing students with the following opportunities:

- Use and explore materials freely and constructively
- Enhance creativity, independence, and skill development
- Develop fine and large motor skills
- Develop language and social skills through self expression in music, art, literature, and by example
- Introduce basic and developmentally appropriate religious concepts
Daily activities include: patterns and counting with the calendar, learning the alphabet (through songs, books, and pictures), monthly themes, an explore time (centers and recess), and a religious time
