Pass the word on to your friends who may want to still enroll a child for this school year!

St. Catherine Pre-Kindergarten program has recently been awarded Early Learning Grants from the State of Ohio.  Early Childhood Education Grants provide high-quality early learning preschool services in order to prepare children for success in kindergarten. The purpose of the grants is to maximize a child's early educational experiences before kindergarten and provide high-quality early learning services to eligible children.   

Because we received this award, we are expanding our program to include an additional PK classroom.  Enrollment is now open for this classroom!  Enrollment forms are available online or at out Open House!

Stay tuned for announcements on our 2017-2018 School Year Open House!  Coming soon!
