Pre-Kindergarten

The Catholic Schools of Fairbanks pre-K program offers both full-time and part-time options. Our pre-kindergarten is unique because it seeks to develop the mind, body and spirit of each child. Each and every child is holy, or “set apart.” They are made in the image and likeness of God. We are committed to helping each child begin the life-long journey of spiritual, emotional and cognitive development.

Curriculum
Our pre-K program has a fully developed curriculum that introduces students to math, language arts, science, social studies and religion concepts. The children actively participate in developmentally appropriate experiences as they learn new skills.

Religion 
Pre-Kindergartners have a daily religion lesson. They pray, listen to Bible stories, sing religious songs and participate in seasonal celebrations of the Church year.
