Preschool Program
Saint Bridget School offers a nurturing and faith-filled program for students who will be 3 or 4 years of age by September 1st of the current school year. Curriculum areas such as religion, math, literature, social studies, language development, science, art, and music are integrated around thematic units and children's literature.
Fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, we offer an age-appropriate early childhood educational curriculum in a safe and nurturing environment. Curriculum content and teaching strategies respect the individuality of each learner as well as the promotion of a hands-on program that uses learning centers as a means for active learning.
