Beginnings: Preschool, TK and Kindergarten

Beginnings Coordinator: Catherine Sforza, csforza@stmatthewcatholic.org, 704-543-7677 x1042

One of St. Matthew’s sweetest and most joyful programs! Children are placed in small groups of six to eight, and shepherded by teen leaders.  The leaders guide the children through three lesson rotations – SEE, HEAR and DO – that are facilitated by adults, bringing Scripture and God’s mighty love alive through music, games, crafts and stories.
