Our Vision
The vision of The Cathedral Preschool is to provide a program that will foster the development of the whole child: emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually by offering each student a well-balanced, age-appropriate curriculum that stimulates creativity, self-exploration, independence and healthy, happy relationships with others.
Our Faculty
The faculty and staff at the Cathedral Preschool have a wealth of experience working with preschoolers. The majority are degreed with a major in education or are college graduates with required continuing education hours.
Many of our teachers have been on staff for more than fifteen years. Their loyalty and commitment to the preschool children, parents, and community are the foundation of The Cathedral Preschool.
Our Facilities
The Cathedral Preschool is located in beautiful new facilities at the Cathedral of St. Philip. Teachers engage the children in learning in classrooms that are spacious, bright, and colorful.
Our students regularly attend delightful, preschool-age-appropriate services in the Children's Chapel, located in the heart of the school.
The Cathedral Preschool Library, serving both the Cathedral and the Preschool communities, houses books for young people from preschool age through early elementary level.
The children regularly take part in active physical play in our indoor playspace, which includes a play structure and a tricycle/riding toy track, as well as on our two outdoor playgrounds.
Our History
In response to the request of parents who wanted a weekday preschool for their children and the desire of the Dean and Chapter to more fully utilize the Cathedral of St. Philip’s classroom space, a weekday playgroup was established in 1970 by mothers who volunteered to be teachers. The Cathedral Playgroup grew into what is now the Cathedral Preschool - a professionally staffed, highly regarded Atlanta preschool with a waiting list of applicants. The Preschool is accredited by AdvancEd/SACS.
Since its inception, the Cathedral Preschool has had a rewarding, mutually beneficial relationship with the Cathedral of St. Philip. However, the Cathedral Preschool is a separately incorporated parochial entity, and it has its own by-laws and Board of Directors, operates independently, and makes all of its own admissions and operations decisions.
