Arrival & building play
Blocks, sorting trays and puzzles out on the tables as the class gathers in.
De La Salle Street, Mutuwal, Colombo 15
Building young minds, block by block, by the harbour.
St. Joseph's Pre School is run by the De La Salle Brothers for children aged 2½ to 5. Like St. Joseph the carpenter, we believe children learn best with their hands — building, sorting, stacking, and making.

What your child's day looks like
A steady rhythm, every day — so children always know what's coming next.
Morning circle
Songs, a short prayer, and each child's turn to share something from home.
Workshop stations
Rotating "workshop" tables for letters, numbers, craft and construction play.
Outdoor play & lunch
Fresh air in the play yard, then an unhurried, washed-hands lunch together.
Guided by St. Joseph, the worker
St. Joseph shaped wood with patience and care. We try to teach the same way — letting children make things with their own hands, and praising the effort as much as the result.
- Small class sizes, so every child is known by name
- Faith and good values shared gently, never forced
- Hands-on, play-based literacy and numeracy

"My son comes home every day wanting to build something new. His teachers noticed he was shy at first — by the second month, he was the one leading the workshop table."
