My two sons began at Cataldo in 2018 and we have been SO impressed and pleased with our experience. The principal Zack Cunningham brings a progressive, ambitious, and fun energy to the school which is something missing in the other local Catholic schools. The teachers have been amazing and care about the kids. The families have also been wonderful. We`ve made friends with many smart, fun families we have much in common. Could not be happier with Cataldo!

We are very excited for our children to continue their education from preschool into the formal school setting at Cataldo. The preschool program exceeded our expectations in so many ways, too many to count. We tried multiple daycare and preschool settings previously only to be wowed by experience here. Our girls are eager to come to school, they`re excited to engage, and they`re ready to learn. The staff recruitment is exceptional - during times when finding employees is difficult, Cataldo still manages to find all-star individuals.
