St. Mary Preschool

St. Mary PreSchool

The St. Mary Preschool Program was established to give children the opportunity and freedom to explore and experience the world around them, to allow them to search in wonder, and to treasure the joy of learning in a loving Christian atmosphere. Our 3-day per week morning or 4-day per week afternoon program is the perfect schooling introduction for your preschooler. Our facilities are located just to the south of St. Mary Church in Ashland, 1642 Silver Street.
