Early Childhood

Early childhood education is your child’s introduction to formal education. This introduction is an important and integral part of the total school program because it prepares children for success in school by providing
 many skills necessary to build a solid foundation for learning.
 
 The purpose of early childhood education, above all, is to allow children to learn. At St. Anne, students are exposed to a developmentally appropriate curriculum. They are offered opportunities to participate in and explore activities designed to meet their needs. Under the guidance of skilled teachers, students are introduced to challenging materials, exercises, and experiences to meet their needs in intellectual, physical, and social/emotional development. Teachers recognize that all children can and will learn despite their differences in abilities, perspectives, and skills.

St. Anne has implemented Rowland Reading Foundation’s award-winning curriculum programs. Adopted for pre-kindergarten is, Happily Ever After, a comprehensive reading and language arts curriculum with phonics at its core. Kindergarten uses a reading readiness program with children’s literature at its heart, The Superkids Reading Program. 

St. Anne’s Early Childhood (EC) program emphasizes a multi-sensory approach in a stimulating environment incorporating thematic centers.  EC integrates the most current technology-based curricula, The Waterford Program, for reading, mathematics, and science. Students develop strong fine motor skills and learn correct handwriting techniques with Handwriting Without Tears.
 
 In addition, students attend elective classes on a weekly basis, including Spanish, Music and Theatrics, American Sign Language, Library, Art, Technology, and motor development in Physical Education. Students also visit The Giving Field to learn about science and serve and fulfill The Giving Field's mission to feed the hungry.

St. Anne Catholic School has off-duty Beaumont Police Officers employed throughout the entirety of the school day including extended-day. Extended-Day After School Care is also available until 5:30 pm.

St. Anne's Early Childhood program provides a hands-on, positive environment where children are challenged to become inquisitive learners.  We strive to foster individual thinking and creativity while building on social skills to help us shape their moral character and grow in God's love.
