PRESCHOOL
Our program is both age specific and tailored to the individual needs of every child. Rooted in faith and guided by the traditions of the Catholic Church, Bishop John King Mussio Central Elementary strives to provide an inclusive, Christ centered environment where all students are nurtured spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. Our 3 & 4-year-old preschool program is designed to give the children the skills and confidence needed to be successful in school and beyond, all while instilling a lifelong love of learning. The program focuses on individual expression and exploration in art, music, movement and literacy. Applicants must be 3 years of age by August 1st and potty trained.
