Welcome to Nouvel Catholic Central Preschool.  Our Preschool programs emphasize our Catholic faith through daily prayer, Bible stories and learning to be more like Jesus.  The curriculum covers language, mathematics, science, social studies, religion, handwriting, fine and gross motor skills, and music.  All programs encourage not only the academic development of the children, but the social and emotional development as well.
