Preschool

Welcome to our Junior Jaguars Preschool!

Our preschool classroom is a combination of purposeful instruction and active play.  We have created a classroom environment that promotes early learning and development.  Through a combination of teacher-directed small group lessons, whole group lessons, and active play, exploration and experimentation, the children grow academically as well as thrive with their social-emotional development.  


We utilize the Houghton Mifflin Pre-K Series.  It is a proven-effective comprehensive program that ensures kindergarten readiness by building the foundation for success in school and life.  The program encompasses all subject areas including Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Science and Art.  With the use of a variety of learning resources including quality Literature, AlphaFriends Letters, Oral Language Cards, Rhyme and Chant Posters, the children develop their language and literacy skills.  They practice listening, speaking, writing, and pre-reading skills including phonological awareness, word/print recognition, and exposure to print concepts. 

Our Program

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears

The children are exposed to writing in many ways throughout the school day.  We adopted the Handwriting Without Tears program for use in the classroom.  The primary focus is proper hand grip while exposure and practice with writing letters and numbers.  It utilizes fun, engaging and developmentally appropriate instructional methods that enable children to master handwriting as an automatic and comfortable skill.

Math

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears

Our curriculum includes math extensions but we also have the additional Pre-K Math set to augment what is included in the series.  The children explore a wide variety of math concepts throughout the year including number sense, classification/patterning, measurement, and geometry with a strong focus on number sense.

Religion

The children are invited to explore, discover, and learn more about themselves, relationships with others, and about God's creations through our Religion curriculum.  We use the Our Sunday Visitor “I am Special” series.

In addition to the Science concepts introduced in the curriculum, we provide the children with a Science activity and exploration table in the classroom.  This is a hands-on way for them to enhance and re-visit the concepts taught in the classroom.

My name is Jean Wilson and I am very excited to be part of the Junior Jaguar Preschool Program as the founding Director. Being part of the staff is like “coming home” for me.
I started working at St. Joseph back in 1988 in the Extended Day Care as an aide and later the director. I worked there all through college while I was receiving my degree in Child Development and my Teaching Credential. Upon completing school, I started my teaching fourth grade here at St. Joseph. I taught fourth grade for three years before starting my own family.
After being home full-time for a several years, I started back to work part-time at Wilson Preschool in Santa Clara as a Parent Education Preschool Teacher. Raising my own children as well as my work at Wilson Preschool helped me to fully appreciate the wonder and importance of Early Childhood Education. I taught at all age levels at the preschool from Toddlers to Pre-K.
I also have experience as Resource Specialist in Parent Education. I worked at Choices for Children in San Jose. In that role, I organized and presented workshops for parents on topics related to parenting including Positive Discipline, Taming Temper Tantrums, The Five Keys to Raising Healthy, Happy Eaters and Kindergarten Readiness. I also trained childcare providers on best practices with children in group settings.
On a personal note, I am married to a wonderful man named Mark. We have two sons, both of whom are SJC graduates and a fur baby named Sadie. In my free time, I like to watch SF Giants games, read and work on my many house projects.

My name is Bianca Liu.  I feel blessed and am very excited to be one of the teachers of the SJC preschool.
I have a master's degree in education and a Montessori Early Childhood Teaching Credential.  Upon completing my graduate studies, I worked at Legend Learning and Family Resource Center for five years, teaching elementary school children in an afterschool setting.  After starting my own family and staying home with my elder daughter for a few years, I went back to school and earned my teaching credential as a Montessori teacher.  Then I went on to teach at Delight Montessori school for four years.
Prior to joining the Junior Jaguar Preschool staff, I was already attracted by the warm and friendly environment of SJC through the participation in my older daughter's school activities.  My two daughters are students here at St. Joseph.  
As a mother and a preschool teacher, I know how anticipated and at the same time how unsure a child would feel about starting preschool, you can be sure your child will find many loving and caring teachers here to walk that path with him/her.  And for the Chinese families in our community, since I speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, your child will find an additional support among all the friendly teachers.

My name is Lauren Sullivan and I feel very honored and blessed to be part of an amazing team of teachers and excellent preschool program for the Junior Jaguars Preschool at St. Joseph of Cupertino.
I believe that as a woman of faith my goal is to express my beliefs in my community through the education of children. I have had the pleasure over many years of experience successfully planning, conducting and supervising activities with children of various pre-school and school ages. I enjoy creating exciting and enriched environments to enhance curriculum and quality learning experiences.  I have an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and also completed coursework in American Sign Language.
My passions have always been art and photography and in the last few years scrapbooking. I combined my teaching, art, photography and scrapbooking skills and recently created and taught a kid's camp where children were enriched in art and crafts at a local scrapbooking store.
My dream had always been to work at St. Joseph School.  My dream came true when starting my position in 2010. As an added bonus, I met my husband in the halls of St. Joseph (he is the sixth grade teacher at SJC).  We were married here at St. Joseph of Cupertino and welcomed our son in April 2016. It is so exciting to be living my dream and I look forward each year to inspire our students to start creating their dreams.
