Philosophy
Our goal is to provide a safe
and stimulating environment. We encourage
children to explore and interact in their environment. We provide the
foundation for successful achievement in learning by developing an
excitement and enthusiasm for learning through self-confidence.
Socialization skills, such as listening and being listened to,
interacting with other children, treating others with respect, sharing,
taking turns and expressing their feelings verbally are very
important. Expressing our Catholic Faith through role modeling and
daily activities will give introduction to a faith-based environment.
General Information
Our program is designed around the developmental
needs of your child and your needs as parents. We provide an
environment in which your child will grow emotionally, cognitively,
developmentally, and spiritually in a safe and loving environment.
Our staff is carefully selected for their
educational training in Early Childhood Development and their ability
to meet the individual needs of your child with sensitivity,
responsibility and professionalism. We employ a staff of ten
professionals including the Director, Administrative Assistant and
eight preschool teachers. The staff members have been employed from
one to fifteen years with the Diocese of Sacramento.

potty-trained through age 5. The Center is open year round except for
one week at Christmas and one week at the end of summer, mainly for

The preschool portion of our day is in
