Where Little Saints Begin Their Journey

At Saint Patrick, our Pre-K program is more than just childcare. It is a faith-filled, play-based foundation where curiosity is nurtured, and your child’s first school experience feels like coming home.

The Pre-K Advantage

Why Choose Saint Patrick for Pre-K?

  • Small Class Sizes, Big Impact: With an average 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio, your child receives the personalized attention they deserve during these formative years.

  • A Safe, Faith-Filled Start: We provide a secure, bully-free environment where daily faith formation and character building are woven into every activity.
  • A K-8 Community: Your child isn’t just in a preschool; they are part of a larger family. From 8th-grade “buddies” to school-wide events, we provide a sense of belonging that lasts for years..

Investing in Their Future

For the 2025–2026 School Year, Pre-K tuition is set at $8,100

We believe a quality Catholic education should be accessible. Many families find that our structured environment and specialized classes provide a value that far exceeds traditional daycare.

ENROLLMENT FEE: A $100 enrollment fee per student will be collected with the enrollment or re-enrollment form.

Tuition Schedule:

12- Monthly Payments – July 2025 through June 2026

10- Monthly Payments – July 2025 through May 2026

Semi-annual Payments – July 2025 & December 2025

Annual Payment: July 2025

Tuition payments will be made using the FACTS Tuition and Payment Processing program which can be found on the school website under Parents and Payment Center. All Preschool families MUST be enrolled in the FACTS program by August 1, 2025

Tuition is based on the total number of sessions in the school year. This figure is divided into 10 or 12 equal installments for your convenience. Tuition is therefore not reduced for the months including Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break or other scheduled days off.
