Our Mission

Duchesne Preschool is a co-educational school for children, ages 3-5, of all faiths and backgrounds. The preschool is where the love of learning begins in our Sacred Heart family. As part of an international family of Sacred Heart schools, Duchesne is rooted in a mission that lives the Goals and Criteria of a Sacred Heart education. Below are the 5 Goals of a Sacred Heart education adapted for preschool-age children (seen in bold):

Love God.
A personal and active faith in God
 
Love to Learn.
A deep respect for intellectual values
 
Help the Needy.
A social awareness which impels to action
 
Share and Cooperate.
The building of community as a Christian value
 
Learn Right from Wrong.
Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom

 

The rich traditions of Sacred Heart Education are incorporated into the preschool program, and sensitivity to each child’s abilities, potential, and readiness are emphasized. Interaction with the Duchesne Academy students provide a unique collaborative environment and enhances the overall experience.

Duchesne Preschool is dedicated to the education of young children in a loving, nurturing, enriched setting. We focus on learning through play and active involvement in the environment. Recognizing the need to challenge children through “hands-on” activities and creative exploration, our academic program includes classes in art, computer education, Spanish, music, and P.E.
