“Building a Strong Foundation for
Life!”
Instilling the Faith
At St. Gabriel’s we incorporate our
faith throughout the day. Childrenrecite prayers before meals and learn how to
make the sign of the cross. Children are reminded that God is present in their
everyday lives and that he is all around us in their “Circle of Grace”.
Children are read Bible stories and learn songs about events and truths from
scripture in ways that are meaningful to Children.
Embracing the Family
Family involvement is an important
part of our program. At St. Gabriel we believe your involvement is essential
for your child and their success of our school. It is through this partnership
that that we are able to best meet each child’s and family’s needs. As
teachers welcome families and their experiences, St. Gabriel becomes a richer
place for everyone.
Challenging the Mind
Our curriculum is aligned with
Missouri State Standards and is guided by developmentally appropriate practice.
At St. Gabriel we believe children
learn best when they are able to construct knowledge through a wide array of
hands on experiences. It is through these planned lessons that teachers extend
children’s learning. This is done through developmentally appropriate lessons
in areas of language, literacy, math, science, geography, religion,
health/safety, music movement, gross and fine motor activities, dramatic play, art and sensory experiences. We believe that curriculum is everything that surrounds a Child during their day.
Feeding the Soul!
With Every breath we take, every action or interaction we cause, may God’s name be glorified! At St. Gabriel and in our services to the community, Christ is the reason. He is our focus. Let us strive together to be Christ like in the world. Together, we can change lives. Together, we can change the world! Beginning with a strong foundation for life, in Christ Jesus.
