When a child enters preschool at QR, they become part of an established setting for learning.  Our preschool classrooms are not just add-ons or separate programs.  They are an integral part of the elementary school community and considered an important part of the learning continuum.  Our teachers provide safe and secure early childhood education in a loving, faith-based environment.
