ECE Root Beliefs

• Early Childhood Education (ECE) is an important first step in your child’s educational journey. These first years set the tone for the many years of education that lie ahead. At Saint Mary School we are driven by the knowledge that all students can, deserve to, and will learn to their fullest potential. As a team…

· We believe God is in all things

· We believe play is the work of young children

· We believe in educating the whole child

· We Believe excellence is intentional

· We believe that education is a process

In keeping with our beliefs, when you walk into one of our classrooms you will notice a loving and supportive teaching staff. You will also notice that the teachers are engaged in developmentally appropriate play with their students. Looking at the environment, you will notice images of our Catholic Faith proudly displayed right alongside students’ artistic creations.

According to a wise old saying, it takes a village to raise a child. A child has the best ability to become a healthy adult if the entire community takes an active role in contributing to the rearing of the child. We encourage a partnership with parents and an honest and open dialog with families. We are so blessed to have Saint Mary Parish to partner with us and our students on this journey.
