ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO HEART OF SCHOOL AWARD FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD AWARDED TO ST. GILES SCHOOL'S PRESCHOOL TEACHER!
Based on nominations from local school clientele, the Office of Catholic Schools selects two awardees in each of eight categories for Heart of the School Awards. St. Giles is proud to annouce Mrs. Bridget LaPietra as one of this year's recipients. For the past four years at St. Giles and fourteen at other schools in the Archdiocese, Mrs. LaPietra has patiently and constructively nurtured the spiritual, social, and literacy skills of three and four year olds. In addition to developmentally appropriate classroom curriculum, her program includes outdoor science lessons, field trips, and several parent-child learning activities throughout the year. In June and July, weekly country themed sessions are offered for 3 - 5 year olds for a summer learning opportunity.
St. Giles offers the following NAEYC certified Early Childhood programs: 3 year olds - T & Th 8:15 - 11:15, 4 year old morning - M-W-F 8:15 - 11:15, 4 year old afternoon - M-F 12:15 - 3:10, and Full Day Kindergarten and Half Day Morning Kindergarten five days a week. An extended morning enrichment program is available for four year old afternoon students who want a full day program. A summer Kids Camp program is offered in June for 5 - 7 year olds.
