3 Year Old Pre-Kindergarten Benedict Center (B103-104)

"Play is a child's work."  In our three and four year old pre-kindergarten room, the children learn through play.  Our days are built around the activities that the children choose and we are modeling, facilitating and teaching in each of those moments. 

 

My teaching vocation in the Archdiocese began in 1998 at the Cardinal Bernardin Early Childhood Center.  Our school thrived for the 11 years I was there and it was open.  The doors of the St. Teresa Campus closed in 2009.  For the next 10 years I was the Pre-School for All Teacher at Our Lady of Charity.  In 2019, when I first came to Queen of All Saints, I had the joy of developing the faith formation and skills of PK children in the morning and being with the K-8 students in the Library during the afternoon hours.  In 2020, enrollment grew and my role as a PK teacher has been full-time ever since.

 

This school year, 2026-2027, Miss Maria Palazzo will be our aide through lunch time. She will finish her day in the library with the K-8 students. 

 

You may reach me with questions and/or concerns at the email address below. 

 

We will pray for you daily and we ask that you keep us in prayer, too.

 

May God richly bless your day!

Thank a Veteran - everyday -

Veterans Day is an important day set aside to honor and show appreciation for ALL who have served in the United States military—in wartime or peacetime, living or deceased.

This year we thank our classmate Ryan's Dad who served in the US Marines, and his two brothers - currently serving in the Marine Corp and the US Air Force, Gabby's mom who was in the US Army and Rose's uncle who served in the US Air Force.

Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day in the United States, commemorating the signing of the agreement that ended World War I at 11:00 A.M., November 11, 1918. President Woodrow Wilson celebrated the first Armistice Day in 1919.

Lord God, Almighty Father,
creator of mankind and author of peace,
as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess,
we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces.
Give them courage, hope and strength.
May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing.
Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light.
To you be all glory, honor and praise, now and forever. Amen.

 

We can’t all be heroes; someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
–Roy Rogers
