Star of the Sea Preschool

Why Star of the Sea?

Catholic, classical, Montessori-inspired

Our preschool is rooted in the time-honored Classical tradition, brought to life through a Montessori-inspired, hands-on approach. Guided by the pillars of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, our program nurtures the whole child in a calm, joyful environment that feels like an extension of home.

Through storytelling, music, art, purposeful play, and carefully chosen materials, children begin to flourish in school and in life. Our teachers serve as attentive guides, supporting children’s individual growth — each child is known, loved, and valued.

Who we are

Rooted in our Catholic identity, we warmly welcome families of all backgrounds into our close-knit, faith-centered community, united by a shared commitment to raising children who are not only prepared for school but prepared for a life of meaning and goodness.

Montessori-Inspired

Montessori-inspired education fosters wonder, an attitude far deeper than curiosity. The foundations of literacy and numeracy are built through exploration, play, and structured encounters with beautifully crafted learning materials.
