St Paul's Pre School

St. Paul's Preschool was established in 1971 by the church as a community outreach program. Its founding director was, Ida Middleworth. St. Paul's became one of the first preschools in Orange County to be accredited by N.A.E.Y.C. (National Association for the Education of Young Children). The preschool is licensed by the State of California's Community Care Licensing Department as well as the Fire Department.

Our program is accredited through the National Association of Episcopal Schools and is licensed by the state of California's Department of Social Services. Our staff is composed of professional people trained in early childhood education who are also first aid and C.P.R. certified.

That each child be involved in daily activities which allow him or her to gain experience in social, emotional, and cognitive skills, physical endurance and the establishment of the foundation for strong spiritual growth and values.That each child would be respected for his or her own personality and that your child be held in high regard.

Growing community through nature; environments and interpersonal relationships. We cultivate a rich, nourishing environment that feeds the mind, body and soul. Through conscious observation, listening and mindful engagement we support the growth and development of each child. We wonder how each child's experiences at St. Paul's will impact them as lifelong learners and members of the community.

My husband and I chose St. Paul's Preschool as the pivotal building block that would begin the education process for all three of our children. As a first grade teacher, I understand the significance of developing a strong academic foundation that is fortified with hands on learning, active questioning and faith based instruction before tackling the rigor of Common Core Standards at the elementary school level.

It is our desire to offer the preschool age child an educational environment and an opportunity outside the home to develop a creative, constructive attitude toward themselves, others, and the world. The preschool is open for enrollment to all children of preschool age, regardless of race, creed, religion, color, sex, or place of birth.
