Did You Know? This is the first year our school has opened a second preschool! Both preschool classrooms include certified teachers with aides, centers with computers, a loft, and hands-on science equipment. Our Early Childhood Parent Board enables teachers and parents to collaborate to plan events and field trips. We just returned from our field trip to the Shedd Aquarium on January 26th and our next family night, Enchanted Ball, is on Friday, February 10th. We still have a few seats available in our preschool classrooms so stop by and visit our classrooms today! Great beginnings last a lifetime here at the Academy of St. Benedict!
