Pam Loos - Director of St. Mary's Preschool - Charksville, TNWelcome to St. Mary’s Preschool and thank you for visiting us on the web! Established in 1976, we provide preschoolers an active and structured learning curriculum well-known for its high standards in preparing children for kindergarten and beyond. Our cheerful learning environment develops your child emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically and cognitively. Classes are fun while reinforcing skills in each area of development.

The preschool is located on the historic Immaculate Conception Church campus at 740 Franklin Street near downtown Clarksville and serves as a direct feed to St. Mary’s Catholic School for those families who choose to continue their child’s education in Catholic schools.
