Little Angels Preschool

Our Philosophy and Mission

St. Michael Little Angels Preschool is a Catholic-based program dedicated to:

Helping students grow in faith through an increased knowledge of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Enhancing the spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional development of children 3, 4, and 5 years of age

Building each child’s self esteem and independence, cultivating socialization skills and deepening respect for themselves and others

Designing curriculum to balance creativity and structure that encourage children to reason and question, expand their communicative abilities and strengthen fine and gross motor skills

Creating a joyful, secure environment, where children are loved and nurtured and where parents and teaching staff work together in a Christian community of faith
