Long Beach Catholic Regional School opened its doors to our Pre-K in the Fall of 1999. Our mission has been simple - to offer our students a balance of skills to ready them for Kindergarten while igniting their love of learning. We celebrate the uniqueness of each child, fostering a love of learning, critical thinking, creativity and respect for diversity. Our students grow spiritually while building a solid foundation that fosters their social, educational and emotional development.
Our daily routine in Pre-K incorporates prayer during circle time which is when the teacher shares the theme for the day and goes through SmartBoard activities. This is generally followed by group work during which the children work in small groups with the teacher or teacher assistant, as well as rotating through self-guided learning centers.
The teacher based group work focuses on academic skills mirroring the theme of the day and the teacher assistant group works on seasonal crafts which enhance the lessons for the day or week. When the children work independently within the classroom, they will work on pre-made projects based on STEM, Language Arts, Math or Creative Play.
Each week students listen to the Sunday gospel together as a class and then enjoy coloring the weekly booklet that they then bring home to share with their families. The children enjoy singing/music each day and as weather permits, they get out to the playground on a daily basis.
Your child will find their "home away from home" within the walls of our Pre-K classes!
