“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Welcome to Preschool!

Mary Our Queen Catholic Preschool provides a loving, nurturing environment that engages young learners and is supported by a strong Catholic faith-filled school and parish community.

We offer 2 day, 3 day & 5 day half or full days programs for children ages 3 to 5 years old.

The cornerstone of a child’s positive self-esteem is laid during their early formative years. Mary Our Queen Preschool places importance on these foundational educational experiences and is dedicated to offering a secure, nurturing Christian environment for our preschoolers.  

Parents are the primary educators of their children. A strong partnership with our parents is central to MOQ School’s goal to support parents as they raise children who are faithful and focused on achieving the best of their academic abilities.

Our preschool team is dedicated to the cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual development of your child.  A positive classroom ratio with a play-based, centered instruction curriculum and enrichment programs allow your child to learn in a fun, safe and structured environment. Children have an innate curiosity and our classrooms are places where children explore, discover, investigate, create, and wonder.  

We prioritize fundamental pre-reading and pre-math skills, verbalization, socialization, and fostering a deep understanding of self and social connections. Our curriculum also includes STEM, Spanish & Art classes.  Using a blend of interactive storytelling sessions, engaging Arts that include the Rose Theater Group, integrated games, circle time activities, creative crafts, as well as rhythmic music and dance, we facilitate holistic learning experiences within our high-quality curriculum.

Embedded in our Catholic preschool curriculum is daily engagement with God and nurturing a strong relationship with Him. Our training with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd allows children to actively participate in learning simple daily prayers and songs, fostering a loving response to both God and their peers. 

Our Preschool is part of our K-8th Elementary School campus and we provide many opportunities to join our Elementary School students and teachers to allow your children to experience the Mary Our Queen community.

 

Why Choose Mary Our Queen Preschool?
Talented Teachers
MOQ School is accredited by the state of Nebraska as well as Cognia, an advanced accreditation program. We nurture the spiritual, social, and intellectual growth of our young learners through engaging learning experiences guided by our knowledgeable and dedicated teaching staff. Our Early childhood endorsed teachers create hands-on learning experiences that deepen a child’s confidence while developing kindergarten readiness skills through play and a focus on specific academic goals. Our school also provides onsite counselor and learning specialists.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Our new Preschool building has its own atrium specifically prepared for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori based faith formation curriculum for children ages 3-6. Lessons in the atrium are designed to awaken religious wonder and contemplation in the child, while giving him or her a strong foundation in the Bible and Catholic liturgical practices. Each child will participate in daily prayers, such as “Our Father”, “Hail Mary”, “Holy Mary”, “Glory Be”, “Angel of God”, and “Meal Prayers”. Students will reflect daily about the world around them and understand God’s creations and love for them.
Flexibility for Families
Our preschool programs are designed with options for families. Enroll your child in our program for up to five days per week or as few as two days. Children may attend half days or full days. There is also Extended Care for before and after school. The MOQ Extended Care program offers flexible, dependable and nurturing before and after school childcare for students. A Lunch program is also provided.
