A note to our non-parishioner friends:  As a parochial school, we are heavily supported by St. Paul Catholic Church parishioners.  Tuition pays approximately 45% of our school costs; the remainder is covered by the church financial support, corporate and individual matching funds and miscellaneous income.  We expect our parishioner families to support the church and through their support, the school.  Our higher tuition rates of non-parishioners, both Catholic and non-Catholic, are not intended to discourage or exclude anyone, but rather reflect their portion of St. Paul Catholic Church's support.  The total cost for a child's education is approximately $7,500.

The Preschool Experience

Hello, I am Suzy Satterfield, the St. Paul Preschool teacher.  I have over 30 years of teaching experience in the area of young children's education.

St. Paul and I offer programs for children of various age groups:

  • Three/four year-old program - two/three mornings per week

    • This is usually a child's first experience with organized interaction with children of his/her own age.  We move the child from individual play to learning to play with their peers.  They learn to share, take turns, and extend their attention span for listening and following directions.  Many different activities teach shapes, colors, name recognition and development of small motor skills.  I use the "handwriting Without Tears" for pre-skill learning of writing and small motor skills.  Scissor cutting and many art activities are instrumental in teaching many skills through play.

     

  • Book-It Adventures - one morning per week

    •  Tuesday mornings are offered to four year olds and the afternoon children.  We explore books, literature, authors, illustrators, and different themes.  The four-year olds will attend a morning session, the afternoon children may attend the morning session, stay for lunch and attend the afternoon session.  This is a very exciting class, and helps ready your child for the all-day kindergarten experience.

     

  • Four/five year-old program - four afternoons per week (pre-kindergarten) (optional all day Monday and/or Tuesday with Lunch Bunch supervision)

    • This program is for those children who have summer birthdays, have attended the a.m. programs or will be entering kindergarten the following fall.  The program expands on the academic skills that are taught in the four-year old class and works on small motor skills with the writing program of "Handwriting Without Tears."  We also use the literacy program of "Smart Kids" with is a super program that teaches many reading readiness skills for a good start for academic success.

Christian values and concepts are present in all that I teach.  I feel God is involved in all aspects of our life and should be involved in everything we learn.

I will love, teach and nurture your child.  He/she will learn, laugh, pretend, play, and learn to pray.  I hope you will come and visit our school and all it has to offer.

"Miss Suzy"

Kindergarten

The St. Paul Catholic Church mission statement includes the words, "..to pass on the faith we have received from the apostles to our children and to others".  The mission of the St. Paul School Kindergarten is to make children feel secure and successful in school as we pass on that faith.

The program is designed around a developmentally appropriate approach.  Children are encouraged to learn on their own through active participation and interaction with the teacher, classmates and developmentally appropriate materials.  The teacher recognizes the varying levels and interests of the children.  The children are allowed to develop at their own pace through activities which include physical movement, active communication, and individual and group problem solving.

Learning is centered around activities which are meaningful and relevant to the children.  Integrated themes bring learning to a natural level as the children experience spontaneous and instructive play in the classroom through activities which draw together reading, math, writing and science, with art and music.

Computers are used to reinforce the curriculum.  The Kindergarten children learn to open and close programs along eith basic sord processing in the computer lab that is equipped with 24 new Dell computers.

Field trips are used to relate learning to real-life experiences.  Parental involvement is encouraged.  Parents are seen as partners in the education of their children.

Of primary importance is the independence and well being of each child.  Each child is accepted for where they are, and through choice, encouragement and manipulative activities, they gain a sense of competence, individuality and responsibility.
