Preschool & Early Childhood

Preschool students wear a simple preschool uniform designed for comfort and independence:

• Gray St. Patrick Preschool t-shirt (purchased through our uniform vendor)

• Comfortable shorts, pants, skirts, or dresses appropriate for active play

• Tennis shoes with socks

Children should be able to manage their clothing independently. An extra change of clothes is required and kept at school.

One of the most important things you can do is read with your child every day. Reading together builds language skills, curiosity, and a love of learning — and it’s a beautiful way to spend time together.  

Every child has different sensory needs. What is calming to one child may be overwhelming to another child. To increase attention and focus in the classroom, kids need tools to help self-regulate. Self-regulation is the process of taking in sensory input (what you see, hear, taste, smell, touch, etc.), and initiating a response which allows a child to participate in their everyday activities.
