In 2018, St. Rose's Garden Preschool moved its classes into St. Mary's Catholic School, and now we are one big community! Please read on for additional information about our school and our programs for our Little Lions.
Where Little Hands Create Big Dreams!
Learning is an Adventure!
Early Childhood Program
St. Mary's Catholic School is a Catholic School that welcomes children of all faiths. We focus on helping grow young students with a love and desire for God's love in a wholesome Catholic Environment.
We provide a developmentally appropriate, fun and nurturing program that focuses on the whole child, while growing their love for Jesus Christ. Children are challenged at their level through child-initiated and teacher-led activities. Along with traditional academic learning, your child's day will include faith based lessons, songs and activities. We partner with families to provide a quality program that fosters a lifetime of love and learning!
The younger classes school together with St. Mary's Catholic School children, grades 1 to 8. This provides a community of learning, the opportunity for buddy programs, mentoring and more!

Early Childhood Program
Ages 3 & 4
St. Mary's Catholic School has Early Childhood classes and childcare for children, ages 3 and 4. As of 2018, St. Rose’s Garden moved its classes into St. Mary's Catholic School. Thus becoming St. Rose's at St. Mary's!
It has made a huge difference for the elementary school children(Kindergarten through Eighth Grade), as well as for the Preschool and Pre-K students. What do we mean? By having the early childhood students as part of a bigger entity, the students in the early childhood classes have the richness of an environment that is “greater” than themselves—they are part of a larger school community in which they thrive, grow and develop skills sooner than if they were by themselves. For the students in grades K through 8th grade, they develop the skills of being the “big” brothers and sisters to the early childhood classes.
Both groups have benefited greatly not only being “housed” in the same building, but also being part of a total and holistic educational environment, starting at age three through the eighth grade! Students and staff alike; love being all together under one roof.
Further, early childhood has a curriculum developed for their specific growth. Those who need to be challenged in mathematical and/or reading skills can have their abilities developed due to access to programs available in the school across the grades.
Several times a week, Preschool and Pre-K students receive instruction in Spanish, Physical Education and Music from certified teachers, just as they are for all the students in St. Mary's Catholic School.
In addition to the curriculum and extracurricular classes, childcare is available starting at 7:30 a.m. and closes at 5:30 p.m. (Academic classes run from 8:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.) Hot lunch is available daily during the school year and summer camp programs are available as well!
St. Mary's Catholic School is an ICCP (Idaho Child Care Program) provider. The purpose of the ICCP program is to support families working toward or maintaining employment. Eligibility is based on household income and family size.
