Our Story
After many years of planning, praying and collaboration, this beautiful preschool was built, and we are now enjoying our 9th year of educating children 3yrs-5yrs old. Our students spend their day learning and playing in a safe, nurturing, faith-filled environment. They encourage them to be self confident, creative and learn to respect one another. Our qualified educators take pride in partnering with parents to ensure the success of their students.
We welcome Mrs. Olivares into her role as Preschool Director for the 2022-23 school year. We wish Mrs. Puga, our Preschool Director for the past school years , a wonderful retirement!
Our Fabulous Team
Hello and Welcome to St. Charles Catholic Preschool!
My name is Melissa Olivares and I am happy to inform you that I am the Preschool Director of St. Charles Catholic Preschool. I have lived in the South Bay area since 2009 , therefore I am very aware of the wonderful community that we serve. The more than 12 years of experience I have working with young children has allowed me to teach in a variety of school settings.
I’ve been part of the St. Charles Catholic Preschool team for more than seven years now. During that time, I have enjoyed being a part of children’s lives and helping them meet goals and needs. It has been a blessing to have the opportunity to work with so many young students and meet so many wonderful St. Charles Preschool families.
This year promises to be filled with lots of learning and lots of fun. We will strive for this in a safe and respectful environment as our classrooms are full of love, faith and discovery. Our main goal is to help create a strong foundation in early childhood to what we believe will lead to a successful future.
I, as well as our amazing team, look forward to teaching your children, watching them grow in their Faith, grow in their social skills as well as their academic skills.
Many blessings to all,
Mrs. Melissa Olivares
St. Charles Preschool Director
