“Serving God by serving our children”
We recognize that a child’s first and most important teacher is their parent. At St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Preschool, our role is to build upon the foundation families have begun at home—creating a smooth bridge from family life to the classroom community.
Our program provides a hands-on, play-based approach to learning that supports the development of the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Designed for children ages 15 months through 5 years, we focus on nurturing independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
With small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, our teachers are able to give each child individualized attention and care. All staff hold Florida Child Care Professional Credentials and are dedicated to providing high-quality education rooted in compassion and faith.
As a ministry of the Catholic Church, we view our preschool as an extension of our parish mission—to serve God by serving our children. We joyfully welcome families of all backgrounds and faith traditions who value a warm, inclusive, and faith-filled early learning experience.

What our families are saying about us:
I've been a speech therapist seeing children at this school for nearly 8 years and a parent of a preschooler here for 3 years. The school is small. Classrooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff is well prepared, kind, caring, patient and loving. You can tell that they love what they do. I've been seeing the same staff there for years. No high turnover like most preschools. Their approach is developmentally appropriate, and children receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for kindergarten academically, socially and emotionally. My daughter has loved every single one of her teachers and so have I. I cannot think of a better place for a young child to learn and grow.
AMAZING ALL AROUND! St Maximillian is more than just childcare they become your family. We have been at this school since 2019, when my daughter turned two and have had an amazing experience from the beginning. Choosing a preschool can be daunting, but from the moment I toured this school I knew I had found a hidden gem. The staff is sincerely interested in providing a comfortable and nurturing environment. You can tell they absolutely love their job and treat your child as if they were their own. This school has always taken pride in cleanliness and safety. Currently my daughter is in the PK-4 class and at 4 years old my daughter was already learning to read. I attribute this to the academic curriculum; teachers experience and abilities the entire team has. Wonderful facility and teachers but most of all thoughtful people that are a very important part of my daughter's life. She adores this school. We would recommend this pre-school without any hesitation. They will forever be part of our family!
Absolutely a very great preschool! Teachers and staff are all loving, attentive, and care very much for the children. My kids have been going there since they were 2 and they are very happy to be there. We all love it very much!
So glad our friends told us about this preschool. Our daughter has excelled in so many different areas. We are beyond grateful and blessed to be a part of this family. The teachers are extremely kind and loving with our 4-year daughter. Mrs. Hibbard, the director is very professional and works with you depending on your child’s needs. Thank you for all that you guys do for our family!
St Max ha sido otra familia para mi. Mis 4 hijos fueron a esta escuela donde a parte de amor, les dieron la mejor educación académica. Son 8 años q conozco St Max, sus maestras y su programa de educación.
Safe environment, clean, organized, and loving staff. I wish they would have elementary, middle, and high school.
Don’t think too much, St Max is the best preschool for your kids.
I couldn't have been happier with this pre-school. My 3 sons graduated from St. Max. so we were there for 6 years in total. I love all the staff; teachers are the best, and the environment is loving, caring, clean and safe. Is time to leave and definitely we will miss them next year. I really recommend this school.
