CCA Pre-K 3 & Pre-K 4 Programs 
CCA schools offer Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 programs focusing on the spiritual, social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth of each child. The curriculum uses a thematic approach to promote the development of the whole child. By starting children in these programs, the CCA ensures students will enter Kindergarten on grade level.

CCA Schools benefit from a collaboration with the Alliance of Catholic Education (ACE), an organization at the University of Notre Dame. ACE Teaching Fellows, an AmeriCorps Indiana and Serve Indiana program, seeks to develop a cohort of highly motivated and committed educators to meet the needs of our country's most underserved K-12 Catholic schools. Established in 1993, ACE now places approximately 180 young professionals in 140+ parochial schools throughout the United States. 

To carry out its core teaching mission, ACE recruits talented graduates from colleges and universities across the country. ACE teachers represent a broad variety of undergraduate disciplines, with a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences. ACE provides an intensive two-year service experience encompassing professional development, community life, and spiritual growth. These three pillars are at the heart of the ACE program. ACE aims to provide excellence in education and to maximize opportunities for its teachers' personal and professional growth. Through this mutually beneficial experience, many ACE teachers choose to become permanent CCA educators.
