who are we?
We are a Catholic childcare program that offers a loving foundation for your little one. We strive to meet your child where they are and help them grow socially, spiritually, and developmentally. It is your home away from home where your child can grow with the same caring community from 1 year old until 8th grade. As a parent, you can be reassured knowing your child is in good hands with loving caregivers. Safety and health is fundamental here with frequent handwashing, sanitizing toys, tables, and all surfaces their little hands touch. This helps slow down or eliminate the spread of germs and reduces sick days for everyone. Healthy nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks are provided every day. An enclosed outdoor space is utilized twice daily to encourage the freedom to run around, climb, ride toys and explore the outdoors.
