St. Catherine's Childcare Society was formed in 1991 when a decision was made at St. Catherine's Church to support a new ministry to young children and their families. With the owner of the private preschool operating out of the building retiring, the opportunity arose. The parish members responded by donating their time to completely renovate the space into a bright, cheerful center for play and learning. The materials were purchases through a loan from the Parish which later was generously forgiven. St. Catherine's Childcare Society is a nonprofit society run by a board of directors. The board of directors consists of the Rector, the Wardens, Church members, Community members, and 4 elected Parent representatives. The Christian component of our programs is intended to enhance and affirm the loving values taught at home, such as kindness, treating each other as we wish to be treated, and valuing the uniqueness and worth of each child. We celebrate the Christian seasons of Christmas and Easter. In this light, we continue to affirm and celebrate special feast days of other cultures and religions, if our students belong to other traditions - i.e. Chinese New Year. Our Rector, Christine Rowe, is available to all our families and individuals. She supports all our programs. In addition, Chris Whalen (who taught for many years at St. Catherine's Preschool) is our liaison person between the preschool and the church.more...See more text
We love this preschool! The teachers are excellent and my child really enjoys learning and doing crafts there. She especially enjoys the fun excursions they do, like their recent field trip to a grocery store to learn about healthy eating!
Fantastic preschool. Both my children went there. The only preschool that accepts special needs children which benefits not just those children but others as it teaches inclusiveness. The teachers, 2 trained to a classroom, are fantastic! I’m a high school teacher and highly recommend it!
St. Catherine’s Childcare Society is our most favorite place! I’ve had 2 kids go there and sadly, my youngest will be moving into kindergarten next year. The teachers are amazing and make such a fun environment for the kids. My children have loved attending this preschool. We will miss them next year!
Wonderful preschool full of sincere and caring professionals. OUr kids had an excellent experience, and we are so very pleased they spent a couple years with the school.
We highly recommend St. Catherine's Childcare Society
