Welcome to Preschool
At Holy Family Catholic School, we believe in building a strong foundation for your child's lifelong learning journey.
Our pre-kindergarten program focuses on developing essential skills, attitudes, and habits that will benefit your child both in school and throughout life. We encourage active parent participation in your child's education, as research shows that involved parents contribute to higher test scores and foster a solid educational future.
A nurturing place to begin.
Program Philosophy
Our program offers high-quality, developmentally-appropriate, full-day pre-K classes for three- and four-year-old children. Holy Family Catholic School follows the guidelines set by the Louisiana Department of Education to ensure a nurturing and enriching learning environment.
Discipline and Language
We maintain a respectful atmosphere by strictly prohibiting any form of demeaning language or corporal punishment within our program. Time-outs are utilized when necessary, with each time-out duration determined by the child's age, lasting no longer than 1 minute per year of age.
Before and After School Programs
Before- and after-school care is available for all students, Pre-K 3 through 8th grade. Students may arrive at the school from 7:15 a.m. After-school care runs Monday–Friday from dismissal until 5:15 p.m. at $5.00 per day, per child. A $25.00 late fee applies after 5:15 p.m. Failure to pay after-care fees for two consecutive months may result in disenrollment.
Family Involvement
We highly value family involvement in your child's education. Parents are welcome to participate in classroom activities, field trips, and workshops. Regular parent-teacher conferences will be scheduled to discuss your child's progress and address any concerns.
Potty Training Policy
Per the HFCS Registration Guidelines, all incoming Pre-K and Kindergarten students must be fully potty trained prior to the first day of school. This applies to:
- Pre-Kindergarten I (Pre-K 3): students who are three (3) years of age on or before September 30 of the year the school year begins.
- Pre-Kindergarten II (Pre-K 4): students who are four (4) years of age on or before September 30 of the year the school year begins.
- Kindergarten: students who are five (5) years of age on or before September 30 of the year the school year begins.
"Fully potty trained" means the child can independently use the restroom, recognize the need to go, manage their own clothing, and wash their hands without assistance. Pull-ups and diapers are not permitted.
