Cathedral Preschool

At Cathedral Preschool, the joy of learning and being loved is evident in each child's smile. Since 1986, Cathedral has been providing private yet affordable early childhood education to three, four and five-year old children in a warm and inviting environment. Under the ministry of St. Stephen Cathedral, the preschool provides a Christ-centered atmosphere appropriate for children of all faith traditions. We strive to create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that fosters each child's individual growth and development.

Our Services

Our Teachers

Our teachers are dedicated, experienced and loving educators who understand the unique needs of young children.

They attend regular trainings and workshops to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in early childhood education.

Philosophy & Goals

Our philosophy is based on the belief that young children learn best through hands-on, interactive experiences. We strive to provide a balance of structure and flexibility in our classrooms, allowing children to explore and discover at their own pace while also providing guidance and support when needed. Our goals include:

• fostering a love of learning in each child
• promoting social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development
• building self-esteem and confidence
• encouraging creativity and imagination
• supporting each child's individual growth and development
