WELCOME TO St. Junipero Serra Catholic PRESCHOOL

LIC# 304371061

St. Junipero Serra Catholic Preschool ("St. Serra Preschool") is licensed by the state of California and follows the Diocesan Diversified Education Handbook's guidelines. We provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate program that recognizes the individual needs of each child by celebrating and encouraging each child's natural curiosity for learning. At St. Serra Preschool, we see children as special gifts from God, and as such, we promote their self-esteem and individuality through experimentation and exploration. We also provide developmentally appropriate activities and value play as an avenue to learning. We teach the whole child, nurturing all areas of development including spiritual, academic, social-emotional and physical. 

The St. Serra Preschool follows the St. Junipero Serra Catholic School calendar with a few exceptions. Please see links below.
