Building on socialization, the Frogs interact with their peers and our staff in a fun, supportive environment.

Bears (Four-Year-Olds)
The Bears class meet Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 12 noon for four-year-olds. Our Pre-K program is based on a thematic curriculum.

The children have an opportunity to develop their social and creative skills during a daily free play period. These children develop needed pre-kindergarten skills, initiative and independence.
Kindergarten Enrichment
Kindergarten is a magical time where imaginations come alive and learning has no limits. St. Christopher's Kindergarten Enrichment encourages children to explore the world around them and use their inherent curiosity to learn in a warm, accepting, and caring environment. A combination of free-play and structured activities are used to boost self confidence as well as enhance academic, social and emotional skills being fostered in kindergarten.

Our Stay Day Program, for 3-year-old and 4-year-old programs, offers time for free play, group games, stories, science, art and outdoor fun. The program runs from noon - 3:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. A well-equipped playground and generous play area add to the fun at St. Christopher’s Day School.

Tuesday and Thursday afternoons we offer enrichment programs for the 4-year-olds to further enhance their preschool experience. Some examples of past enrichment programs include science, drama, cooking, dance, soccer, yoga and foreign languages.
