Building Christian Leaders: Inside Everest Academy’s Preschool Program

At Everest Academy in Lemont, a strong foundation in faith, character, and academics begins in the earliest years of a child’s life. The school’s Preschool Program is more than just a place for learning letters and numbers—it’s a nurturing environment where little hearts are formed in the love of God, and young minds are guided to grow in wonder and truth.

Faith at the Center

In Everest’s Catholic preschool, children are introduced to the beauty of the faith in age-appropriate, joyful ways. They learn simple prayers, participate in daily blessings, celebrate feast days, and discover that Jesus is their closest friend. Faith is woven into every part of the day—from stories and songs to the way students treat one another with kindness and respect.

Everest’s goal is not only to prepare children academically, but to help them begin a lifelong relationship with Christ.

Learning Through Love and Play

The preschool program is designed to foster a love of learning. Through a blend of structured activities and creative play, children develop foundational skills in literacy, math, science, and fine motor development. Lessons are guided by caring and experienced teachers who create a safe, joyful, and stimulating classroom environment.

Hands-on learning and exploration are encouraged, sparking curiosity while building confidence and independence.

Forming the Whole Child

Everest takes a whole-child approach—nurturing not only the mind and spirit, but also character and virtue. Preschoolers are gently taught the importance of patience, sharing, listening, and caring for others. Through simple acts of kindness and routine, children begin to understand their value as children of God and their role in a loving community.

A Partnership with Parents

Everest Academy views parents as the primary educators of their children and works in partnership to support each child’s growth. Frequent communication, family events, and opportunities for parent involvement help build a strong and supportive school community.

A Bright Beginning

The preschool years at Everest are just the beginning of a rich, faith-filled academic journey. Students leave preschool not only ready for kindergarten, but with hearts eager to love, serve, and learn.
