St. Bridget School offers a four-year-old pre-kindergarten program. Children may participate in either half or full day for three days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or five days a week. The purpose of this program is to provide opportunities for learning for younger children in a nurturing environment where they can grow socially, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
The morning session is a kindergarten readiness program. It consists of a faith lesson, free play, circle time, art and science projects, reading, writing and math readiness activities, and language arts. Each week a letter of the alphabet is showcased with various activities including cooking or baking an item that begins with the letter of the week. Students participating in the half day program begin at 9:00 a.m. and are dismissed at 11:30 a.m. For students in the full day program, school hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Lunch is at 11:30 followed by outdoor or gym play, story time, rest time, and computer time. Lunch and snacks are provided by the students’ families. Special classes offered throughout the week include art, music, gym and library. Three field trips are taken throughout the year to reinforce the curriculum. All students participate in a Christmas and year-end concert.
