Little Saints Academy
Welcome!
The Little Saints Academy Preschool is a part of Queen of All Saints Elementary School. It aims to prepare three and four year old children for their kindergarten experience.
Our preschool teachers implement industry best practices and researched based strategies in the classroom. For the optimal learning experience we keep our teacher to student ratio at 1:10.

We also offer a full day program from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm which is available MTWTF, MWF or TTh. For greater convenience, drop off is available each day at 7:30 am. Before & After Care is available to full day students. Before Care begins at 6:30 am and After Care starts at the end of the school day until 6:00 pm.
Philosophy & Mission
At Queen of All Saints School, we view early childhood education as a way to nurture curiosity and a love for learning in a caring and faith-based environment. Our approach emphasizes the holistic development of each child, promoting their social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual growth. Rooted in Catholic faith, we provide a safe space for exploration and self-expression. Our committed educators utilize developmentally appropriate, hands-on learning through play, encouraging children to engage with their surroundings and form meaningful connections with others. We aim to inspire a sense of wonder and a lifelong passion for learning, equipping our little saints for a future filled with faith and compassion.
There is no dress code or uniform for preschool students, but it is suggested that the students wear play clothes and athletic shoes.
