The
Parish Church of St. Helena Preschool
Called by God to bring academic excellence and the teachings of Jesus
Christ to young children in our parish and the community, we are located in
historic downtown Beaufort.
Our classrooms integrate all of God’s children who are developmentally
ready for a group program. Small class size will allow for positive peer
interaction and creative class programming with lots of fun and love. Children
will hear the Word of God as they learn and explore in the classroom. Through
a Christian curriculum, students will develop skills in the areas of language
arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, and motor development.
Instruction will include whole group, small group, and individual lessons
designed to address each child’s gifts and needs. Our teachers are dedicated
to nurturing each child to advance spiritually, academically, socially, and
emotionally.
Parents know best as to how many mornings a week are suitable for their
student, so we offer a program of “flexible
scheduling” where parents can decide the number of mornings
of school per week for their student. All our classes are single-age
classrooms; there are no multi-age classrooms. Class sizes are limited and
each class is staffed with a Lead Teacher and an Assistant. School hours are from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m.
Historically, our Preschool has ministered to many military
families. In order to affirm these military families and
promote this ministry, our Preschool offers a 40% discount on tuition
for active duty military families. There are also
scholarships available for families with a financial need.
