PRESCHOOL MEETS 5 DAYS A WEEK, 8:30am-12:00pm AND Can WORK WITH AN EXISTING PRESCHOOL PROGRAM.

At St Joseph Institute, we view each child as an individual. We respect their needs, their individuality, and families. We value their play, which is based on discovery, imagination, and creativity. Through ongoing assessments, we teach language, cognition, speech, audition and socialization at the child’s individual developmental level and needs. We teach to those needs using thematic experiential, cognitive and dramatic activities from structured language to open centers. These needs are taught with the child’s interest and ownership as paramount. We believe success is achieved when the home and school environment work as a team!

We are Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) approved as a private agency. Our program is designed to work with an existing program your child may already be enrolled in. Professional supports such as an Audiologist, Speech-Language Pathologists, Teachers of the Deaf and more are integrated into the curriculum. To solidify the family-school relationship, all students receive one family session each month with the SJI preschool teacher. Call us today and see how your child can benefit from our Listening and Spoken Language services for children.

This program was begun by a generous grant from The Berges Family Foundation and continues today by underwriting from a generous private donor.
