4K and Preschool

Regis Catholic Schools believes high-quality early childhood education is essential for a child’s growth, development, and preparation for elementary school.

Our system offers 4 year old kindergarten programs (EC4T) and faith-based 4K and 3 year old preschool programs.

The 4K program (EC4T) is offered through the Eau Claire Area School District at our Regis and Genesis Child Development Centers. The faith-based 4K programs are offered at St. James Elementary School and St. Mary's Elementary School. The 3 year old preschool program is offered at St. Mary's Elementary School in Altoona.

4K (EC4T)

Regis Catholic Schools partners with the Eau Claire Area School District to offer 4 year old kindergarten at our two child development center facilities. Because we partner with our local public school district, faith-based programming is not offered during the 4K programming times.

Testimonials

Kendall Alexander, Class of 2022
"Catholic Schools is a huge part of my life. I have been at Regis Catholic Schools since preschool, and I couldn't imagine receiving my education anywhere else. Teachers are able to incorporate the moral truths of the church into their everyday curriculum, whether it's a religion class or not. We are able to pray at school before every class and with teams before sporting events. I am so appreciative for the opportunity and for my parents' decision to send me to a place where school is more than an education."
- Kendall Alexander, Class of 2022
