DeSales Catholic School in Lockport is excited to announce that its Preschool is expanding! Beginning in the Fall 2020, DeSales will offer a Blended Full Day Preschool program for three and four- year olds. Children who are turn three by December 1, 2020 are eligible for this program. 

Mrs. Staci Pike has been named the teacher for the Blended Preschool Program at DeSales. Mrs. Pike started teaching in the DeSales Preschool in August of 2019.  She has NYS Certification in elementary education for PreK-6^th grade with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Buffalo State College.

DeSales Principal Karen Rahill said the expanded preschool program was developed to meet demand. "Our existing full-day four-year old program was filled by the end of February.  We are adding this program to meet the ever-changing needs of families working or living in the surrounding area," Rahill shared.

The new Blended program will join DeSales other preschool programs including; a part-time program for three-year olds, a part-time program for four-years olds, and a full day four-year old program.
