Philosophy
Our Lady of Farina Pre-K program recognizes the importance of educating the "whole child" in a secure learning environment. Through active learning, children are introduced and have the opportunity to experience a variety of developmentally age-appropriate activities. Our "hands on" approach fosters a curiosity and eagerness for learning. The teacher's role is to support and guide young children through their active learning adventures and experiences. Catholic values and teachings are incorporated in daily curriculum of the Pre-K program.
