Welcome to Pre-K4

Thank you for your interest in the Pre-K4 program.

Below are some points of interest in our Pre-K4 program at St. Joseph Catholic School:

  • Students must be 4 by September 1st of that school year for admittance. 
  • SJCS Pre-K4 is a FULL day academic-based program; 8am - 3:15pm.
  • Before care and after care are available to our Pre-K4 students. 
  • Our maximum capacity is 22.  There is a fully certified teacher and a full-day aide in the classroom. 
  • Our Pre-K4 teacher, Mrs. McNally, is currently nominated for Teacher of the Year in Cobb County!
  • There is a full complement of enrichment area classes (art, computer, library, music, PE, Spanish). These classes are provided in the Pre-K4 room. 
  • Lunch for the SJCS Pre-K4 students will be in the classroom. 
  • Tuition is the same as other grades.  
  • Curriculum: 
    • This program is not kindergarten-lite. It is a developmentally appropriate program for 4-year-olds. 
    • There is a strong focus on language and fine motor skills. 
    • Discovery time allows the Pre-K4 students to interact while learning. 
    • Students will not be seated doing worksheets – this is a very interactive, movement-based, language-rich learning environment.
