St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Preschool was founded in 1989. In 2005, SEAS preschool moved into the new facility, which is Seton Catholic School, serving children two years old through eighth grade. The Lord continues to bless us as we provide service to parish families and the community at large.

The 2-Year-Old and 3-Year-Old Preschool Program
The preschool program at Seton gives children a first experience of school. The classroom is center-based, giving children the choice to explore art, books, blocks, dramatic play, musical instruments, puppets, puzzles, math & science areas, and sensory activities each day. Children are taught both inside and outside the classroom in individual, small, and large group settings through the use of songs, music & movement, and sign language. Children will gain knowledge and experience in all the developmental areas – Cognitive, Adaptive, Motor, Social & Emotional, and Communication. The preschool program uses both the Kentucky Early Learner goals and Discovering God’s World curriculum to plan educational and spiritual experiences for children.
All of our early childhood teachers have been trained in the Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) Early Childhood Program. This 20-hour training equips our early childhood educators with the knowledge to effectively set the foundation of literacy, which is critical for success in both school and life.
Our three-year-old and four-year-old teachers also use the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness program which implements phonological and phonemic awareness lessons to build strong foundational literacy skills in our early childhood students.
The 4-Year-Old Pre-Kindergarten Class
The Pre-K program is a rich learning environment that uses themed units to teach children the concepts necessary for success in Kindergarten. The Pre-K classroom is center-based, giving children the choice to explore art, books, blocks, dramatic play, math & science, music, and sensory activities daily. Children are taught both inside and outside the classroom and in individual, small, and large group settings in order to develop fine and gross motor skills. Children will gain knowledge and experience in all the developmental areas – Cognitive, Adaptive, Motor, Social & Emotional, and Communication. Children will learn the alphabet and will practice both letter sounds and number recognition. They will practice writing skills daily using the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum. The preschool program uses both the Kentucky Early Learner goals and Discovering God’s World curriculum to plan educational and spiritual experiences for children, and the Pre-K children will also gain experience in the humanities by attending Library, Physical Education, Music, and Art classes.
