Little Cardinals Preschool

Become a Little Cardinal at DuBois Central Catholic School!
 
Deciding what school your child will attend at the beginning of their academic experience can be overwhelming.  The right choice is critical for their future success and development.  As a single-facility school complex, we are advanced in meeting the needs of our youngest learners while empowering them to thrive!
 
What makes our facility unique in comparison to other alternatives is that our Little Cardinals attend classes within a school complex that better prepares them for their transition into kindergarten.  Our complex provides multiple indoor and outdoor facilities for preschool students to explore, including two (2) outdoor playgrounds, Noah's Ark outdoor discovery area, a "little kid" gym equipped with rock climbing walls, and specialty classrooms that offer an introduction to technology, art, and music.  Little Cardinals also have access to our full-scale children's library with over 2,000 new books purchased within the last two years. 
 
As a school, we provide additional safety and security measures that create an environment conducive to learning.  We employ both a full-time police officer and full-time nurse who are present during all preschool operating hours.  And, our safety training and security protocols are evaluated and enhanced on an on-going basis.
 
Our programs are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, meeting or exceeding all state requirements.  Our preschool curriculum follows the guidelines set in the State Standards for Early Childhood Education, and our faculty are all state-certified teachers.  We supplement our educational standards with Catholic principles and value systems that develop the entire child, and create unsurpassed school culture rooted in respect, service, leadership, and community.
