St. Pius Preschool is a Montessori-inspired, Catholic pre-primary program in Redwood City that serves children aged 3 to 5. The preschool follows the St. Pius school year and offers full-day, half-day, and pre-enrolled extended-care options.
St. Pius Preschool is a Montessori-inspired Catholic pre-primary program focused on the holistic development of young children. The program emphasizes spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth within a parish and family partnership.
The curriculum uses individually tailored, Montessori-inspired materials and a teacher-as-guide model that gives children freedom to explore and choose self-correcting materials. Instruction is arranged around observation of each child and aims to foster creativity, independence, coordination, concentration, and lifelong learning.
The preschool operates as a 10-month school program following the St. Pius School year calendar and observing scheduled holidays and breaks. Children are expected to be toilet trained and able to separate from parents; readiness is required for continued enrollment. Extended Care is available but requires pre-enrollment (it is not a drop-in service). Enrollment priority is given to siblings of St. Pius students, St. Pius parishioners, Catholics from parishes without a school, and then non-Catholics.
Before- and after-school care running 7:30–8:00 a.m. and 3:00–5:00 p.m.; Extended Care is not a drop-in program and requires pre-enrollment monthly or for the school year.
