Nativity of Mary Preschool Philosophy:

Nativity of Mary Preschool nurtures young children through a rich, faith filled environment.
  • We use a research based, developmentally appropriate curriculum aligned with the Minnesota Early Learning Standards.
  • We believe that children explore and discover through play and hands-on activities.
  • We provide a warm, safe, and inclusive environment that stimulates learning.  
  • We partner with parents to develop a well-rounded child who grows mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

​NURTURING FAITH: As a Catholic preschool, Nativity strives to make God’s presence known and felt in our daily activities and interactions. We celebrate each child’s individuality, helping them see and embrace their own unique gifts.
