Parent testimonials
We are beyond impressed with the preschool academy! Our daughter is going into Kindergarten in the fall at St. Damian and is already starting to read and do basic math (addition and subtraction). She loves practicing sight words at home and feels "big" like her older sister when she does her homework! A strong academic curriculum is important; however, free play is critical for development at their age. The preschool incorporates free and structured play into daily activities. I enjoy seeing pictures of them in Shaw Hall using the parachute, scooters, and arts/crafts. Our daughter also LOVES library, music and gym class.
This program is amazing and we are very excited for our youngest daughter to start 3 year old preschool in the fall.
Above all, we know our children are loved and cared for daily and as a parent there is no better feeling!

St. Damian Preschool is amazing. The curriculum is one of the best. People tell me, all the time, how smart my daughter is for a 3 yr old. I believe it has a lot to do with the school and the awesome teachers. Their patience, fun and upbeat personalities make learning exciting. While the class, is a structured environment for the children. I love the fact they get to do music and computer classes. The program help the child with social and motor skills. The child learn to be independent and learn to respect and trust others. I cannot say enough on this program. I love it. – Mrs. Lubus Oak Forest
