Preschool staff includes two full-time certified teachers and two full-time teaching assistants (one of which is a registered nurse). Every student attends Mass each week.
A hot lunch is offered at a cost of $4.25 per day, or you may choose to pack your child’s lunch. Afternoon snacks, such as crackers and grapes, are provided.
All students are required to have a rest time each day by the State of Tennessee. We realize that some children sleep better than others to start, but find that most of them adjust to this rest period after attending regularly. All students must be potty trained prior to attending. Pull-ups are not allowed to be used at school.
Before and after care is available at an additional cost. Before care is from 7:00 – 7:40 AM, and after care is from 2:45 – 6:00 PM. After care for preschool students is only offered on days that they are scheduled to be in attendance.
Preschool students are required to wear any solid navy blue or gray top and khaki bottoms. On Wednesdays, a SJNCS Spirit shirt may be worn with uniform bottoms. Any socks and gym shoes are permitted.
