GENERAL INFORMATION


St. Mary’s has been educating the smallest learners for more than 50 years in the Belle Isle area of Orlando. Our preschool is an integral ministry of St. Mary of the Angels Episcopal Church and is a celebrated resource within our community. Our curriculum targets all areas of a child’s development and allows teachers to individualize lessons for their students. A low student to teacher ratio, dedication to each child, and family involvement give our students the foundation to achieve success throughout their school careers.

2024-25 PROGRAM OFFERINGS

School operates August through May, with an optional Summer Program in June and July.

We offer developmentally appropriate classes for children ages 2–5 years old. We offer Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) in a unique way. The State Funded VPK program allows all Florida residents with children that are age 4 by September 1st to participate in a quality Pre-Kindergarten program free of charge. Children who are 5 years old and have not submitted a VPK certificate previously may use it at St. Mary’s during their 5-year-old year.
