"Having sent both of my children to St. Edwards Preschool, I have been extremely happy with the teacher and their unique way of creating a nurturing learning environment. As a parent, knowing that they are receiving an excellent education in an atmosphere that is so welcoming is more than comforting to us." - Tricia Lauretano, Parent
"While there are so many delicious layers to love on the St. Edward cake, the icing for me is the phenomenal camaraderie amongst the parents."
- Jennifer Evans, Parent
"The school reinforces the values that my wife and I are teaching at home, all built around our faith in Jesus Christ."

Our highly talented faculty is our greatest assets and the secret to our success. Each teacher holds a Master Degree and is New York State Certified. Each class has a full-time teaching assistant. We have selectively built a team of warm and nurturing individuals gifted in working with young children. We challenge you to find better "Good Morning Greeters" and "Boo Boo Kissers".

St. Edward's has an indoor imagination playground, a fenced in outdoor playground nestled in a park-like setting, and our early childhood students have access to the Elementary School facilities, including the chapel and Mass, the gymnasium, art, music, library, Spanish and the science lab!
St. Edward the Confessor's Nursery and Pre-K Programs are based on the Diocese of Rockville Centre's Early Childhood Curriculum, which incorporates New York State Standards.
The curriculum includes open-ended activities that focus on the process as well as the end product. Children are immersed in literature and activities for pre-reading and writing. They are given everyday opportunities to learn math concepts, such as shape, size, weight, and numbers. Our program also incorporates religion, art, cooking, music, physical education, and technology.
