St. Mary’s rating ensures lower child-to-staff ratios, higher training credentials for staff, increased family engagement, and quality in curriculum. Attaining this recognition ensures a commitment to quality learning experiences for students.
“I'm proud that our preschool program meets the highest standards to qualify for the Five Star rating. Our staff strives to serve and educate children daily in a faith-filled environment that is focused on excellence,” said Lisa Clark, elementary and preschool principal.
The rating is important for families as they seek the strongest possible preschool experience for their children. Research indicates that children who attend high quality early learning environments have better math, language and social skills. The rating system will provide a measuring stick for parents as they consider where their children should receive their educational start.
