Early Childhood Education
St. Joseph's Catholic School is pleased to provide child care programs to the families it serves. We offer a three-year-old Preschool Program, a four-year-old Preschool Program, KinderCare (for the 2010-11 school year), as well as before and after school care. St. Joseph's child care programs provide a safe and healthy environment for children 3 – 12 years old, attending as much as possible to individual needs and development. Children become socially responsible through processes that include positive modeling, assisted learning and encouragement, with an emphasis on respect for self, others, and the environment.

Staff is carefully selected based on relevant education, training, and experience. Thorough reference and criminal record checks are completed in keeping with Child Care Licensing Regulations.
