Kids’ Depot Preschool

Kids’ Depot Preschool is a Christian, non-denominational and non-profit entity of St. Anastasia Parish. We believe every child is unique. We provide a loving, secure environment and employ qualified, caring people to teach, work and play with your child as we help them prepare for Kindergarten.

Kids’ Depot strives to develop within each child an active curiosity about the world in which the child lives and to encourage an enthusiasm for learning while stimulating creativity and integrating Christian values.

Our Preschool program gives children the opportunity to begin preparing for Kindergarten.  Each of our programs includes valuable play time where children can explore and develop individual skills and interests with guidance from teachers. We also provide stories, songs, art projects, outside and gym time. This loving, nurturing environment is where children gain confidence in themselves and their abilities.

Two Day (Tuesday/Thursday) 8:30-11AM

Designed to give children an introduction to school. We work on social learning skills, following a school-day routine, using materials independently, and many self-help skills that will be needed in later years. We also introduce colors, shapes, number and letter recognition, and writing our names!

  • Recommended for 3’s and younger 4’s
  • Must be 3 years old by Sept. 1 of registration year
  • $97.00 per month/child

Three Day (Mon./Wed./Friday) 8:30-11AM

A bit more work intensive, this program is designed for older students to help them prepare for Kindergarten. We begin by reviewing classroom routines and material use, but a larger portion of time is spent on learning more academic skills such as letters and sounds, numbers and counting, patterning, rhyming, opposites and writing.

  • Must be 4 years old by Sept. 1 of registration year
  • Recommended for 4 & 5 year olds – Year prior to Kindergarten
  • $120.00 per month/child

  • Recommended for 4 1/2 & 5 year olds not yet enrolled in Kindergarten
  • $165.00 per month/child

This program, for 4 & 5 year olds, is a bit more work intensive. We continue to work on social skills, but spend more time on the following skills:

  • rhyming
  • retelling a story
  • writing
