Reviews
I have had two children attend Holy Cross for both 3's and 4's preschool and am sending #3 this fall. I love that the teachers have actual teaching degrees so I know that they are knowledgeable about child development and that the content and activities are age-appropriate. There is a great balance between table work, hands-on activities, and play. Both my older children were very well prepared for Kindergarten. The staff are all so warm and caring--their love of children is immediately evident. I also love that the preschool is viewed as a ministry and Jesus is incorporated into everyday lessons and activities. I recommend Holy Cross to all my friends and anyone looking for a preschool.
We loved this school. Our son loved it and learned many great things and got him ready for kindergarten. The teachers were great and the curriculum was awesome. We would recommend this school to everyone.
