Pre-School

At St. Jane Frances de Chantal School, our preschool program provides a nurturing and engaging environment for young learners to grow and thrive. To enroll in our program, children must be 4 years old by October 15 and able to use the bathroom independently. These requirements help ensure that our students are developmentally ready to fully participate in the learning experiences we offer. We are excited to partner with families during this important stage of their child’s educational journey!

Dear Prospective Preschool Families,

Welcome to St. Jane Frances de Chantal Preschool! We are delighted that you are considering joining our school community, where faith, learning, and love come together to create a strong foundation for your child’s future.

My name is Jennifer Wood, and I am blessed to serve as the Preschool teacher at St. Jane School. As a Wilson native now residing in Forks Township, I bring over 21 years of experience working with children of all ages. I spent 13 years operating a full-service childcare program from my home and later worked as a dedicated nanny for several wonderful families. This year marks my fourth year as the Preschool teacher at St. Jane School, and I am deeply passionate about fostering growth, curiosity, and joy in our young learners.

At St. Jane Preschool, we provide a structured and engaging environment rooted in our Catholic faith. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for a seamless transition into our kindergarten program while nurturing their social, emotional, academic, and spiritual development. Your child will gain essential skills, build friendships, and grow in their understanding of God’s love.

Our preschool hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and we are pleased to offer extended care until 5:00 p.m. for families who need additional support. This flexibility allows us to meet the diverse needs of our community while ensuring your child is cared for in a safe and loving environment.

We look forward to welcoming your family to St. Jane Preschool, where faith-filled learning is just the beginning. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jwood@stjaneschool.com.

Thank you for considering St. Jane Frances de Chantal Preschool—we can’t wait to partner with you in your child’s educational journey!

Warm regards,
Jennifer Wood
Preschool Teacher
