In an effort to ensure the quality of our student-centered Early Childhood Programs, we strictly limit the enrollment in these classes. Consequently, the Admissions Department will date Early Childhood applications and honor the order of submission when accepting students. Siblings of current students, families registered at the Parish of the Church of St. Mary, and other Catholic families will receive admission preference.
