Preschool

We provide a Christ centered part time program designed to encourage young children to play, discover and develop basic cognitive, physical, spiritual, and social skills.

A child can start preschool after they turn 3 and are potty trained.  Families may register for preschool online or by calling the school office at 785-234-8980 and picking up an enrollment packet.  We welcome all prospective parents and students to contact us for a tour.

Portrait of a Mustang-Preschool

Each month we’ll feature the “highlights” of one grade, beginning with Pre-K and moving through 8th grade to help families gain a better understanding of what students can expect over the years as they attend Holy Family. This month we begin with our mini-mustangs in Pre-K, who may be “mini” in stature, but are MIGHTY in spirit!

Preschoolers are learning their “pre skills.” The building blocks of their future education! While your student is in school they will be learning songs, listening to stories, practicing nursery rhymes and finger movements that are the building blocks for reading, science and math skills. While preschoolers play together they are learning communication skills and how to work together in groups. During art they express their creative side and imagination!

Throughout the day, our mini-mustangs are learning and practicing school routines, how to line up, sit quietly during story and gathering time, and being respectful to the teacher. We also discuss God’s love for us, and how God calls us each by name. We will be learning how to make the sign of the cross, prayers and Bible stories. The four year olds will be attending Mass at OLG monthly.

The preschoolers will also be learning how to use technology responsibly.
Recently, we received a set of new Chromebooks from a few generous donors,
so the children are able to spark their imagination by listening to stories, or
learn some gaming time during specific times. They enjoy the independence
this gives while still surrounded by their teacher and friends. They even have a
option to use airpods so as not to disturb others.

We also have the added joy of the “bigs” from the main campus coming to visit us regularly and practice our gross motor skills while running, jumping, skipping and galloping. The seventh and eighth graders make excellent arts and crafts partners. We also enjoy them as reading buddies! Preschool is an exciting time for young children and their families! It is building their future education as they move on to our main campus!
