Pre-K/K and Grade 1 Programs

The Pre-K/K Program at Queen of the Rosary Parish serves children age 4 and those students in Kindergarten.  It focuses on God’s love for us and our response to God.  Key objectives* are:

  • to foster an awareness of God’s goodness and presence in our everyday lives
  • to reflect on God’s goodness in creation and the wonder of our unique selves
  • to respond to God’s goodness and love through prayer, reverence, and gratitude
