PreK-3
About:
Guardian Angel Daycare administers the PreK 3 program (St. John the Baptist administers the PreK 4 program). In order to be eligible for this program, your child must be three years old by September 1st; this is a state law and the Diocese of Salt Lake City enforces this policy throughout all their schools. Children with birthdays after September 1st will remain in our toddler program until the following summer.
Curriculum:
We use the Caterpillar curriculum from High Reach Learning as well as the Mailbox curriculum; these programs are specifically designed for the three-year-old. The religion curriculum we use is through Our Sunday Visitor and is entitled “I Am Special”; this too is specifically designed for the three-year-old. Curriculum for the three year old program covers a wide variety and is filled with lots of fun activities to learn through interaction with peers,crafts, stories, activities and games. We use the UEN Preschool Pioneer that encourages the learning of numbers, letters, and STEM. The curriculum provides large and small motor skills and hand eye coordination activities. Children at this age are curious and creative and through this curriculum we are able to provide opportunities for the children to explore and discover which leads to problem solving skills that will be used throughout their school years and beyond. We support their spiritual growth through learning many prayers during the year and using RCL Benzinger’s curriculum “We use Stories of God’s Love”.
Waiting List Information:
The waiting list for our preschool program opens in September and closes in February for the following school year. We offer three choices of programs: a two day program on Tuesday and Thursday, a three day program on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a five day program Monday through Friday. You may, also, choose preschool only (8:00 AM – 11:00 AM) or all day (any time from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM).

Once your child has been accepted into our program, you will receive an acceptance letter along with an application to fill out and send in with a registration fee. Our formal school year begins in August with the rest of the Skaggs Catholic Center campus. If a child’s file is incomplete, he/she will not be able to begin school until all information is received. A complete file will contain the following: current application, copy of birth certificate, immunization record, copy of baptismal certificate (if Catholic). All children enrolled in PreK3 must be fully potty trained – this is a policy of the Diocese of Salt Lake City.
