Prince of Peace School realizes that individual family needs are different, so we are pleased to offer a variety of flexible choices for your child’s preschool years.

 

Twice yearly parent-teacher conferences in all classes, weekly teacher emails and monthly school newsletters help you stay involved and informed.  Free, all school events help you find community and support with other families. The curriculum at Prince of Peace School is teacher collaborative and scaffolded through the progressive age classes to ensure your child is receiving the opportunity to acquire developmentally appropriate learning objectives and find success academically.

 

Our commitment to maintaining small class sizes helps ensure that your child will receive the individual nurture and attention they need to grow and thrive! Our teaching staff has very low turnover, so children are known and loved as they progress through our classes.

 

We are dedicated to providing an environment where your child’s social, emotional and spiritual growth is nurtured and supported. Helping children understand that they are a unique, loved child of God is at the core of all we do at Prince of Peace School!
