JFK GROWS

• God First
• Respectful Behaviors
• Opportunities to Serve
• Welcoming to All
• Safety

John F. Kennedy Catholic School and Guardian Angel Pre-school implement these values in three year old pre-school through the 8th grade. Due to these shared values in our family-like atmosphere, students excel academically, socially, emotionally, morally, and spiritually. Graduates of JFK programs have the confidence and skills needed in their next educational levels and throughout their lives.

Early childhood care and/or wrap-around services are available through our Early Childhood Learning Center.

Four Year Old Preschool

Using the seven domains of learning: Math, Science, Social Development, Language-Literacy, Arts, Physical Development and Social Studies, we have a curriculum that is age appropriate and develops strong skills for Kindergarten readiness in a hands-on learning environment. To further enhance these seven domains, we use a formal early literacy program that not only covers reading skills but also writing, math, science, social studies and music skills. For math, we utilize materials that focus on active experimentation, direct, hands-on experiences, problem solving and social interactions and is aligned with the Iowa Core curriculum. To help students develop their social skills, we use a program called Second Step. This curriculum covers empathy training, emotion management, problem solving and social information processing for preschoolers.

Children must be age 4 on Sept. 15th, and not yet 5, to qualify for the free four-year-old preschool. Children who are five years old on Sept. 15th may enroll under a tuition contract. Children must be able to use the toilet independently.
