A Journey Toward Kindergarten Readiness

The Minnesota Department of Education articulates specific expectations for children as they enter school. Preschool opportunities for early learning through family, caregiving, and meaningful education settings before Kindergarten increase a child’s ability to exhibit age-appropriate skills, behaviors, and beginning knowledge. Our preschool program prepares your preschool child for Kindergarten and for life as a learner.

You will know your preschool child is ready for Kindergarten when he or she exhibits knowledge and skills across multiple learning areas. These include appropriate social and emotional skills, math and science, physical and motor growth, and exposure to the arts, language, literacy, technology, and communication. These outcomes form the core of our early childhood education curriculum at Holy Cross.

Why is Holy Cross a great choice for your preschool child?

We’ve been educating the children in our communities for over a century. Today, as in the decades past, our philosophy of learning remains unchanged. Learning begins with a strong foundation of skills and knowledge, character begins with values and the cultivation of virtue. You can be confident that your child’s learning at Holy Cross will be joyful, faithful, and successful.
