Philosophy:

            At St. Timothy School we believe that children need to be nurtured in a warm atmosphere, which encourages them to reach their full potential academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

We recognize that each child is a gift from God and that he/she must be given the resources to recognize his/her own innate goodness and self-worth.

We believe that all individuals are created equal and encourage the children to share, be fair and speak kindly to each other.

We acknowledge the children with respect, kindness and love.

We use a variety of methodologies and age-appropriate opportunities for development. The Pre-Kindergarten program allows children to develop cognitive, physical, emotional, spiritual, and academic skills in a safe environment.
