In times of bad weather, we will follow the Hempfield School District.  Please watch WGAL Channel 8 for information.

If the Hempfield School District is closed, St. Leo Preschool will be closed. 

If the Hempfield School District has a 2-hour delay, we will observe a modified schedule:  Morning Class:  11:00 - 12:45

                                   Afternoon Class:  1:15 - 3:00

As your child begins the adventure of lifetime learning, let Saint Leo the Great Preschool program help make this experience both enjoyable and educational. Our goal is to provide our children with a positive self image and to bring out God's blessings in each child. Our certified staff emphasizes creativity and discovery through hands-on activitites to help the children learn to reach their potential.

We hope to make your child's learning experience both enjoyable and fruitful. A well-rounded, Christ-centered, calm, peaceful environment is offered to all who enter our doors. Jesus is the model teacher at our preschool.
