Preschool in Rockville, MD 20852
The mission of Saint Marys School is first and foremost to communicate Christ to the students and families whom it serves. Our school seeks to impart a hopeful vision of the future in which students may begin to glimpse the Kingdom of God and to imagine the ways in which their own gifts may be developed and used in the service of Christ. We seek to be a community of prayerful love, free from fear, in which students are unafraid to take risks, to explore, to grow, and to learn. Here they will be encouraged to ask the ultimate questions, not only “How well did I do?” but more importantly, “How shall I live?”. We are a learning community in which students embrace their gifts and talents. We seek to bring students to a truly incarnational understanding of Christ in me as well as a school community that works ceaselessly to live in justice, peace, kindness, and understanding.

St. Marys Preschool offers an early childhood program for children three and four years of age. The goal of the school is to promote the spiritual, emotional and intellectual development of each child in a nurturing atmosphere with Christian values.
The children are exposed to a wide range of experiences such as free play, music, art, dramatic play, story time, and dancing. The teacher and children gather for group experiences which develop thinking, perceiving, memory and communication skills. Group activities encourage being part of a whole community and instill respect while helping one another. The school environment provides the child with a sense of self-worth and well being and always encourages the positive I can attitude with emphasis on doing things for oneself.
Throughout the school year students are exposed to individual and group learning experiences that are enforced by a series of field trips and school activities. Parents are always welcome to participate in special activities to observe the fun and spiritual learning experience of their children.
