Mary Star of the Sea Preschool is the newest addition to our Mary Star Parish. We take pride in
offering a well-rounded program with age appropriate hands-on activities that provide many
opportunities for learning and growth. We provide a safe, nurturing environment that
encourages independence, confidence, and positive self-esteem in children.
Mission Statement
In the tradition of Catholic Education, Mary Star of the Sea Preschool promotes opportunities for
each child to grow spiritually, socially emotional, physically, mentally and creatively. As a
small community, together with parents, director, and staff, it is our goal to develop these values
in each child.
Philosophy Statement
Mary Star of the Sea Preschool believes that each child is a child of God, endowed with unique
gifts and talents. In cooperation with parents, the director, staff, children, school and church we
form a faith community dedicated to teach, nurture, and integrate Catholic values into your
Child’s everyday lives.
Mary Star of the Sea Preschool is a Christ-centered environment that provides the opportunity
for spiritual growth through the living traditions of the Church. Faith development is achieved
with the practice of prayer.
As a director and with the staff, our school strives to create a warm and loving environment
where children can learn about themselves, gain an understanding of others and develop their
self-esteem. Each child is treated with acceptance, encouragement and respect for his or her
individuality. Our hope is that each child will feel successful and develop the ability to grow in
positive ways.
The Mary Star of the Sea Preschool offers varied activities in faith development, art, language,
music, movement, science, outdoor play and cooking. Play is a critical component to an
excellent early childhood education. Our curriculum offers opportunities for each child to
develop his or her own knowledge through the discovery and exploration inherent in quality play
activities. Above all, our priority is to provide an exciting and happy school experience for your
children.
