St. Martin of Tours Preschool provides a warm, joyful, and nurturing environment for a young child. Learning takes place with an emphasis on assisting children to feel valued and loved by God and by those around them. The staff provides experiences which encourage the child's innate curiosity and excitement about learning. Children can develop and grow in a loving, Christ-centered, family environment.

Goals:
We strive to help children to:

• grow in the love of God and to appreciate all gifts of life
