In the Eagles Preschool Program, children ages three (3) and four (4) experience the same learning environment as the older students. Not only do the children believe, achieve, serve, and succeed, but they are provided with a rich STREAM program that encourages them to reach their full potential through exploration, experimentation, and the design process.
The children also participate in school wide Religious Formation and STREAM activities as well as weekly specials including art, music, physical education, and technology. In grades Preschool through 8th Grade the emphasis is on educating the whole child.
The core academics are conducted by NJ State certified teachers accompanied by classroom aides.
