A Joyful Beginning to Learning and Academics
At Annunciation Catholic Preschool, we create a warm, nurturing environment where young children take their first steps in learning and faith. Our dedicated teachers foster early cognitive, social-emotional, and spiritual growth through hands-on experiences, play-based learning, and loving guidance. With a focus on exploration, creativity, and foundational academics, we cultivate a joy for learning, encourage curiosity, and build a strong connection to Catholic values—laying the groundwork for a lifetime of growth and discovery.
Our Curriculum
Annunciation Catholic Preschool is committed to providing a strong educational foundation, meeting the Florida State Standards from Birth through Three, as well as the Florida Four-Year-Old Standards (VPK State Standards). The preschool proudly implements the Frogstreet curriculum, a research-based program developed by leading early childhood experts. This engaging approach fosters active exploration and play-based learning, utilizing the latest brain research to optimize learning during critical developmental stages. Even the youngest learners benefit from this dynamic and enriching experience.
Faith Formation
Rooted in Catholic tradition, Annunciation Catholic Preschool nurtures the spiritual growth of every child. From infancy through VPK, students are immersed in God’s love through prayers, songs, and faith-based stories. The three- and four-year-old classes explore their faith on a deeper level through the Diocesan-approved curriculum, Discovering God’s Love. This program aligns with the Diocesan Standards and Benchmarks for Faith Formation, offering developmentally appropriate lessons that engage children through stories, discussions, and hands-on activities. Additionally, students receive special weekly lessons from Sr. Rachel, further enriching their spiritual journey.
Spanish Language Program
Annunciation Catholic Preschool embraces the benefits of early language exposure, incorporating Spanish instruction into its curriculum to help children develop skills for a bilingual world. Research supports the cognitive advantages of early language learning, which enhances memory and problem-solving abilities. Since 2007, Spanish has been an integral part of the preschool experience, with dedicated instructional periods in the Four-Year-Old Program and integrated lessons during circle time in the Three-Year-Old Program. Taught by trained educators, the program ensures language acquisition occurs in a fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate way.
