Preschool at SKD
Our preschool is a perfect place for your child to begin the lifelong process of learning and exploring. We believe empowering children to strengthen their social-emotional skills through play is critical and the chance to show their creativity is key to learning. Our preschool teachers are thrilled to be able to partner with you, helping your children prepare for school.
Little Learners, Big Dreams
Preschool can be one of the first experiences for children in a structured setting, and for a lot of kids, it might be their first social environment. We are here to make sure they have fun, feel loved, and learn a few things in the process.
We’re so excited to meet our littlest friends at St. Katharine Drexel!

Is it worth the cost?
Absolutely yes! St. Katharine Drexel values people. The school focuses on not just academic learning, but also who the students are becoming. Using the Catholic Faith and Social and Emotional Learning, SKD’s leadership and staff have created a community of learning and connection. The students, parents and staff all know they are each an important part of what makes St. Katharine Drexel so wonderful.
