St. Catharine’s Pre-Kindergarten (four-year old program) is located in the school building. Three options are offered: five days full-day, three full-days (M, W, F), or three half-days (M, W, F). The hours are: 8:30 – noon for half-day and 8:30 – 2:30 for full-day. Children can also use the before and after care program if needed.
