Early Childhood Program
- Why choose St. JPII Regional for Early Childhood?
  
  Religion is infused with everything we do in our early childhood program. Our students are taught the importance of loving one another like Jesus loved us. Our Early childhood academics prepare our children for elementary school evidenced by 90% of our children who enter kindergarten are able to read.
  
  Our lead teachers are certified in their field and have over 30 years of combined PreK experience. All students receive a hands-on learning experience that allows them to explore academics through their own experiences.
  
  Pre-enrollment Link:
- “I have heard in the past how easy it is to love my children but the way Mrs. Mendoza and Ms. O’Donnell love my daughter can bring tears to my eyes. Mrs. Mendoza makes EVERYTHING so fun, I even get so excited. Mrs. O’Donnell literally spends hours a week cuddling with my daughter ( she doesn’t wake up nicely from her nap). The best part is they never make me feeling like it’s a chore. My daughter came in prek3 barely talking, and not only is she speaking fluently but her comprehension skills is above par. Yesterday, she was finding her letters in her blocks and asking for help when she needed, it was great.”
