Transfiguration Catholic Preschool

Welcome to Transfiguration Catholic Preschool.

Together we learn using imagination, exploration, creativity and interaction. We pray together in a Catholic environment that will help instill a love of God, self, and others. We grow together emotionally, socially, spiritually, physically and intellectually - preparing our students for a lifetime love of learning.

  • Faithful Beginnings is a brand developed by the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence (CSCOE) and a professional branding agency. It is available to Catholic Preschools across the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in order to provide an efficient and cost-effective marketing and promotion tool. The Faithful Beginnings brand was created to embody the faith, values, and excellence that characterize the Catholic preschool programs across the Archdiocese.

    We are adopting the Faithful Beginnings brand at Transfiguration alongside our “Little Saints” brand, which will continue to be our unique preschool brand. Faithful Beginnings is a fresh, eye-catching, memorable brand that we hope people will begin to associate with excellent Catholic early childhood education for their children.

    By choosing Faithful Beginnings for our school, we are able to maintain our individual identity and join a network of Catholic preschools with similar goals. We also gain access to the special Faithful Beginnings support and resources CSCOE provides. We are confident that this decision will help us to increase excellence and enrollment at Transfiguration Catholic School, bringing more young souls to Christ and improving our existing early childhood program.

  • Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based program that gives our preschool students a simple, profound involvement with the Gospel and the liturgical life of the Church. It emphasizes quiet contemplation and the enjoyment of spending time with God.

    Parables and events of the life of Jesus, which reveal his love, are presented to the children through Bible readings and simple, beautiful materials and lessons. The children learn songs, prayers and to work quietly and reverently with meaningful liturgical objects.
