Our Philosophy

At St. Richard Early Learning Center, we believe that every child is a unique individual with their own interests, talents, and needs. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment that encourages children to explore, learn, and grow. Our program is built on the Christian values of the Catholic Church, and we seek to instill these values in our students through daily lessons and activities. Our goal is to provide quality child care that focuses on each child's mind, body, and spirit.

Our Mission

At St. Richard Early Learning Center, we believe that every child is a unique gift from God and deserves to be treated with love, respect, and kindness. Our mission is to provide a faith-based environment that fosters children's spiritual, intellectual, and physical development and prepares them for a lifetime of learning.

Our Program

 

Infants (6 weeks to one year old)

At St. Richard Early Learning Center, we provide a safe and nurturing environment for infants aged six weeks to one year. Our experienced caregivers attend to each child's individual needs and foster their development through play, music, and sensory exploration.

 

Creepers (one to two years old)

Our creeper program is designed to support children aged one to two years in their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Our caring teachers encourage children to explore their curiosity and develop their language, motor, and self-help skills.

 

Toddlers (two to three years old)

Our toddler class follows a class schedule set for two to three year olds.  They spend time playing and learning in their environment, reading books, working puzzles and completing art projects. Our friends have met new milestones: they are drinking from cups, and they are progressing towards only napping once per day.  This is a great place for your child to grow in a structured environment, where we can show your child God’s Love.
