Welcome to St. Anthony Preschool! This year we celebrate our 10th Anniversary! Our preschool has grown over the years to its current status of eight classes of children, one hundred and six students enrolled, and twelve staff members employed. The journey has been one of hard work, commitment, and team work between the teachers, parents, parish and children. The preschool has been blessed with a staff that puts in 100% effort in the job they do. The families we serve also support the preschool in various ways to benefit each child who walks through the doors. The parish lends a helping hand to promote the Catholic faith to the young children as well.

Please feel free to call the preschool with any question you may have. We look forward to helping you along your journey in any way we can.

Mission Statement and Goals
The St. Anthony Preschool will fulfill the physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual needs of the children it serves. Based on Catholic beliefs and traditions, the program will provide a quality education that will aid in developing the ‘whole child’. St. Anthony Preschool is committed to nurturing the faith of the young child as well as providing developmentally appropriate practices in meeting the needs, interests, and abilities of the children. Children will learn of God’s love and of Jesus’ everlasting friendship, find a wide variety of learning experiences in all academic areas, and develop a positive feeling about themselves and an excitement toward a lifelong love of learning. St. Anthony Preschool believes in a strong home-school connection with the faculty and parents working together in the success of the child’s education.
