St. John Paul II School invites all families to our Preschool & Kindergarten Open House and Registration evening on Tuesday, February 24 from 5:30 - 6:30 PM!

Families will have the opportunity to tour the classrooms, meet the staff and faculty, and register your child for preschool or kindergarten. This is also a great opportunity to visit with the teachers about which Preschool session is right for your child.

St. John Paul II offers half-day or all-day preschool options, Monday through Friday. Pre-1 is for children ages 3-4, and Pre-2 is for children ages 4-5. Students should be at the minimum age by September 1, 2026. (Pre-1 is not a pre-requisite for Pre-2.)

Preschool students enjoy a hot lunch each day, participate in all the special rotations (including PE, Music, Library, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, & SmartLab), and can also participate in the after-school program*. Pre-1 students also have afternoon rest time.

For current tuition prices and additional information, visit our Admissions Page. You can also contact our office at 605-996-2365 or Principal Sarah Timmer at sarah.timmer@k12.sd.us.

*After-school care is available for a daily cost of $13/day, and cost is subject to change for the 2026-2027 school year.
