St. Peter Preschool

Our mission is to provide an education which will allow Christian faith to become living, conscious, and active.

St. Peter preschool is open to all potty-trained three- and four- year -old children.  the days available are Monday through Friday; Monday, Wednesday, Friday; or Tuesday and Thursday.

The preschool rooms are located on the first floor of the elementary building at St. Peter School.  The rooms are the second and third doors on the east side as you walk in from the south entrance.  The school is located at 368 South Ellsworth Street, Marshall, Missouri.

Painting, puzzle-working, cutting, and collage creating all promote fine motor skills.  Gross motor skills are supported through outdoor play on the preschool playground, yoga, completing an obstacle course in the gym, and many others.

Kindergarten readiness skills include learning about the weather, months of the year, days of the week, colors, numbers, shapes, and music.

The number of students in a class is varied due to the flexibility of scheduling.  On Monday through Thursday, there are several foster grandparents in the classrooms to facilitate small group learning.

Our rooms are divided into the centers room and the art/classroom.  These rooms will be utilized on a rotating schedule to accommodate the whole class as well as smaller groups of three or four- year -olds.

Parents are encouraged to be involved in the preschool as much as they are able by sharing any talent, driving for field trips, assisting in the classroom with parties or projects, or any other way that is beneficial to the class.  But please, always check with the office before coming to the classroom so the administration knows of your presence in the school.

St. Peter preschool aims to foster spiritual growth and human development.  Reflecting this aim, St. Peter preschool program strives to promote children's growth in awareness of themselves and their relationship to others as well as to God through activities appropriate to their stages of development.  Children will be enriched and grow into fullness of life.

The St. Peter preschool through simple and concrete activities will create an atmosphere of loving concern where children grow in independence and cooperation.  The children will explore and discover the mysteries of the world through their own natural curiosity and sense of wonder and awe.  As they begin to discover some of the mysteries of nature, they come to understand that people and the world are gifts of God.
