Sacred Heart Pre-Primary is a segment of a K-12 complex under the direction of the Sisters of Divine Providence. Sacred Heart is a unique Christian community organized to foster the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of each child. All of these are accomplished in the spirit of dedication, freedom, and love that is rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We believe that Sacred Heart is a place where young children learn to live, work, and play with their peers. Recognizing that children differ in their interests, past experiences, abilities, and rate of growth, we expose them to many varied and multi-leveled opportunities.
