Saint John the Evangelist Preschool is operated by Saint John the Evangelist School and is affiliated with Saint John the Evangelist Parish. Saint John Preschool is accredited by the Virginia Catholic Education Association.

Our preschool program promotes each child’s spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social growth. The curriculum is organized in a sequential manner that follows a theme or unit.

The aim of the preschool is to make each learning activity developmentally appropriate, challenging and a multi-sensory experience. We encourage activity. The children of Saint John Preschool are exposed to many concepts, but our focus is on appealing learning activities and creativity.

Preschool Pursuit of Excellence

Saint John Preschool prides itself on its growing program. As we evolve, we look to parent and student needs in response to our commitment to excellence. We continue to strive for our program to encompass the child’s point of view. We are committed to find the best ways to provide a curriculum based on an understanding of contemporary child development and individualized to meet the needs of every child. We continue to find every way possible to provide a physical environment that is safe and orderly, containing varied and stimulating toys and materials. We are committed to providing an environment in which adults show respect for children’s needs and ideas and talk with them in caring ways. We are committed to providing an environment where parents feel respected and are encouraged to participate in our program.

As teachers of young children we try to the best of our ability to give each child under our care the security of the following:

• To feel safe
• To receive love and affection
