Early Learners

Our admissions process begins by building a relationship with your family. Each step allows us to get to know your daughter and better understand her readiness for our Early Childhood Program.
Submit an online application: The first step in the application process is to submit an online application in SaintsNet
 
Supplemental Online Forms:
  • Parent/Guardian Statement
  • Request for Screening Form (Early Learners)
  • Release Request Form
Current School Evaluation: If your daughter is currently in a preschool program, St. Catherine’s requires her school to complete a confidential recommendation and return it to the school directly. The form is available in December.  

Applicant Visit: We will schedule a time for your daughter to visit campus to assess her readiness for St. Catherine’s. 

Our Early Learners Program is at capacity for the 2025-2026 school year. We would love to talk to you about options for future school year enrollment. Please reach out to Adrienne Taylor to learn more.
