Blessed Sacrament School offers Preschool (3 year old) and Pre-kindergarten (4 year old) located in the Cedar Valley Catholic School Early Childhood Center. Our youngest students spend their days learning socialization, as well as age appropriate concepts and lessons that prepare them for success in Kindergarten based on the Iowa Early Learning Standards. Students participate in weekly music and physical education classes. As with all levels within the Cedar Valley Catholic School System, the Catholic faith is central to the instruction and to their interaction with each other. Scheduled prayer services and service opportunities help our littlest learners develop a relationship with God and a path toward helping others.
Muffins with Mom and Donuts with Dad are two fun events at Blessed Sacrament. In addition, we spend our day doing fun activities to challenge the creative minds of our students while introducing academic and developmental curriculum for each age group.
The staff at Blessed Sacrament meet the requirements of the Department of Human Services and the Iowa Department of Education. Staff receive continuous training to ensure compliance with safety and instructional expectations of the State of Iowa. Staff engage students in meaningful learning experiences to support their development.
The Blessed Sacrament Early Childhood Center is a full time daycare center which offers care to families full time as well as wrap around care for elementary and preschool students. The Blessed Sacrament Early Childhood Center staff creates classrooms and spaces in which Christ is the center and in which students can develop healthy relationships in a structured care setting.
Through a streamlined and articulated curriculum the staff at the Blessed Sacrament Early Childhood Center collaborate to ensure our students are ready for their first full time school experience in Kindergarten. The preschool teachers collaboration with the Saint Edward elementary staff helps to ensure that our students are entering Kindergarten with the skills and dispositions they need in order to be successful leaders in elementary school.
