The St. Joan of Arc Preschool/Kindergarten program (4, 5 & 6 year olds) celebrates the belief that everything is in God and God is in everything. We look forward to being a beginning step or next step in your family’s faith journey.

Our program currently serves approximately 200 children. We have teachers, aides, lead partners, music volunteers, and many parents who fill in on an as needed basis. It is because of the help of many volunteers that this program is successful.

We welcome all to become involved in our program. You will not only help fill a need but also will meet others in our church community. We look forward to participating with your children as they learn, discover and have fun at church.

We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for your children. We will provide ample opportunities for community building through various family events. Your children are a weekly reminder that God really is in everything!

Pre/K Kids and Family Mass: Since Family Mass is geared towards 8 year olds as they and most others can participate in communion, our preschool/kindergarten program is structured so that parents may pick up their pre/k kids after Family Mass. If you prefer to have your child go with you to Family Mass, we ask that you please enter and leave quietly and discreetly when you pick them up. Class will be going on and sometimes other children become sad when they see their friend leave with his/her mom or dad. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Family Events: Please join us throughout the year for one of our many family events, such as the Advent Event, Children's Christmas Program, Lenten Event, Tropical Dance, Children’s Sunday, and Carnival! Please refer to our current newsletter for dates and time.
