Our Mission
is to guide young children in building foundational skills for learning and life, and to nurture a love of God through a caring and developmentally appropriate, Catholic preschool program.
†
We know the earliest years lay the groundwork for so much ahead in the life of a child. We strive to ignite in children an early love of learning through purposeful play as they explore our world, experience new things, and discover the joy of friendship. We believe the young are a gracious gift entrusted to us and that compassion and understanding are paramount – reflecting God’s love for them – as we help them to grow in mind, body and spirit. We know that when learning and laughter come together in an irresistible mix, and an authentically Catholic worldview touches all we do, we are laying a solid foundation on which to build as they grow. We seek to live out this mission each and every day at Holy Family Preschool with God’s help.
At Holy Family Preschool...
We believe that "Growing the Family of God" begins with our children. We provide a warm and caring environment in which children will develop spiritually, emotionally, physically and cognitively.
We believe that our children are unique and special beings that develop in their own time and pace. Our developmentally appropriate program is designed to provide experiences to prepare for kindergarten readiness, encourage life-long learning and motivate each child to reach his or her individual potential and beyond.
We believe that through the guidance of our teachers and staff, children learn about respecting themselves and others, sharing, listening and experiencing God's love. We look forward to creating strong relationships among the children, their families and the community.
For more information, please contact our director, Kate Viets, at 770-973-0038 ext. *824.
All staff are screened and approved by Holy Family Church and the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Classes and Registration
Preschool Hours

The preschool follows Cobb County inclement
weather school closings.
Class Selection and Registration Fees for 2018-19 Year
Child must be age of class by September 1, 2018
*Our Young 5’s option can be a great bridge for those children who have completed a year of pre-k but who may not be quite ready to go on to kindergarten for social or academic reasons, or both. Our Young 5’s are integrated into our pre-k classrooms, but receive kindergarten-level curriculum materials during handwriting as well as kindergarten-level phonics and math instruction during small-group rotations.
The monthly tuition amount is the same as that of our pre-k classes with the addition of a one-time book fee of $40 for the additional curriculum materials. Children completing our Young 5’s program would then enroll in kindergarten for the following year with the gift of time for a little more development under their belts.
