About
St. John Bosco
Preschool
St. John Bosco Pre-School, part of Immaculate Heart Central is a special place for your child to “start the journey with Jesus.” Our teachers and teacher assistants have many years experience working with young children. Our pre-school is modeled after the practices and work of St. John Bosco, ordained in 1841, who believed in placing children in positive surroundings where they could grow in all areas of development.
Our classes gives children a safe, positive and nurturing full day classroom experience before their kindergarten year. Classroom activities are planned across all subject areas, including reading, writing, math, science, social studies and religion. Social and self-help skills are a major part of our day. Students also take part in art, gym and music classes, and attend school masses, prayer services and school assemblies.
We are grateful you have chosen to join the IHC St. John Bosco family. We are sure you will find your child’s learning experience here to be the beginning of an exciting journey.

Immaculate
Heart Central
IHC is the largest and most prominent non-public educational alternative in the Greater Watertown, NY area. We are proud to be different. We provide a college-preparatory, Gospel-based education based on faith, challenge, opportunity, a culture of achievement, personal responsibility, and service. Our students develop spiritually, morally and ethically as well as intellectually. We are proud of who we are, what we do, and why we do it!
Of course, our schools are unique because they are Catholic, offering an education animated by history’s greatest teacher, Jesus. Our mission is fundamentally about inviting young people to build or deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and help them understand the role of faith in their daily lives and the world. We pray daily. We celebrate the liturgy. Our religious retreats are powerful and transformative for students. We believe in the portion of our mission statement that calls on us to “cultivate holiness based on the love and imitation of Christ.
