PreKindergarten

Our PreKindergarten is the start of an enriching educational journey at St. Paul Academy and Summit School. SPA's PreK is a place where curiosity is celebrated, ideas matter, and wonder comes alive. 

THE CURRICULUM

Learn more about our preschool's Reggio Emilia-inspired approach below, which inspires children to discover the world around them at their own pace. It all starts at SPA. 

 

"Our daughter has thrived in PK this year. She comes home every day excited to share stories from her day: a science lesson, activity outside, or a funny conversation at lunch. Her teachers are calm, caring, and have challenged her to grow academically and socially. They show such empathy and know her so well. We can't imagine a better place for her to learn, and we are so grateful!"

Molly M., Current Parent
