Preschool

St. Anthony Preschool develops the whole child emotionally, socially, physically, spiritually, and intellectually for elementary school. Parents are the primary teachers of their children. At St. Anthony Preschool, teachers work in collaboration with parents to help guide children to thrive and grow. Our goal is that each child has a solid foundation of academic and social skills to ensure a successful transition into kindergarten.
 
St. Anthony Preschool follows an age appropriate curriculum. The three year old class focuses on color, shape, number, and letter recognition. They also work on pre-writing skills, scissors/cutting skills, and pencil/crayon grip and use. There is an emphasis placed on social skills, self-help skills, hand-eye coordination, and language development.
 
St. Anthony four year old class focuses on several different skills. Their faith is nurtured every day through bible stories and learning about Jesus, Creation, prayers, and how to love and respect one another. Children are engaged daily in activities to support phonemic awareness, letter and sound recognition, sight words, sequencing, and exposure to literature. Traditional techniques are used to help build a firm foundation of math skills. The four year old class will focus on classifying and sorting numbers, numeral sequence, shapes, patterns, and numeral printing. The children will also demonstrate improvement in small and large motor development through handwriting, scissor/cutting skills, pencil/crayon grip and use, and movement with music and song. Students will enjoy simple games and structured play to develop their gross motor skills, listening and following directions, and identifying body parts. In addition to all of this, they will participate in several special activities throughout the school year, including a field trip to the Louisville Zoo!


Uniforms are not required for preschool students. Children should wear play clothes appropriate for the weather with socks and tennis shoes.
 
The three year old class is offered 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday for either full day (7:50AM-2:30PM) or half day (7:50AM-10:30AM).
 
The four year old class is offered 5 days a week for either full day (7:50AM-2:30PM) or half day (7:50AM-10:50AM).

I am an alumnus of St. Anthony School. I graduated from Providence High School before attending Indiana University Southeast. 

I began working as our Preschool teacher in 1999.  My focus is to develop the whole child emotionally, socially, physically, spiritually, and intellectually for elementary school. My goal is that each child has a solid foundation of academic and social skills to ensure a successful transition into kindergarten.

My family and I have always been a part of the St. Anthony family. My husband Bobby and I believe strongly in the value of a catholic education. Both of our children attended St. Anthony School and went on to attend catholic high schools . Our son, Bobby, graduated with honors from Bellarmine University and our daughter, Madelyn, graduated from the University of Notre Dame as a double major with honors. In my spare time, I love reading, gardening and decorating my house for the holidays. Saturdays, however, are reserved for football! I LOVE the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, my Labradoodle Scout, and Hot Tamale candy!

I attended Greenacres Elementary School, then for middle school attended St. Augustine’s in Jeffersonville, where I met my future husband, Josh. While at Clarksville High School, I enjoyed playing volleyball and softball all 4 years. I then attended IUS. I wanted to be a dentist, but decided I wanted to raise a family more, so I stayed home to raise our children. 

I married my grade school sweetheart 7 years after meeting him in the 6th grade. Together we have two sons, Joshua and Thomas. During my free time, I enjoy watching and playing professional sports, drawing/crafts, cooking, and camping. Fun facts about me are: I was in a severe weather commercial for WAVE 3, and I won a trip to L.A. from a radio contest.


I began working our St. Anthony Preschool in 2011 and have been there ever since. I enjoy helping the 3 and 4 year old kiddos develop their social, motor, and language skills.
