Early Childhood Program

-
Cedar Valley Catholic Schools Early Childhood Program offers childcare to children 6 weeks of age to 3 years old, along with preschool (3 years old) and pre-kindergarten (4 years old). Our youngest students spend their days learning socialization skills, as well as, age-appropriate concerts and lessons designed around the Iowa Early Learning Standards. Students participate in weekly music and physical education classes. As with all levels within the Cedar Valley Catholic Schools system, the Catholic faith is central to instruction and to their interaction with each other. Scheduled prayer services and service opportunities help our littlest learners develop a relationship with God and a path toward helping others.
