Hours of
Operation
Mondays
through Fridays
6:30am until
6:00pm
Our teachers
and staff are committed to helping children grow,
develop and to realize their full potential.
Our goal is
to provide programs and activities that will enable each child
to develop
at his or her own pace,
according to his or her own special interest,
learning style, and personality.
The quality
of the staff is an important determinant in the quality of the
program.
Saint Vincent Ferrer Church
Child Care
Center strives to
maintain a high quality staff
by providing a variety of in-services and other professional
opportunities.
At a
minimum, state qualifications are met.
All staff
members working with children are required to submit to a state police
check
and have a physician’s health form on file.
Fully
qualified teachers meet or exceed state licensing requirements
in education and experience.
Our staff is
trained regularly in CPR and First Aid.
Philosophy
The
Saint Vincent
Child Care
Center is unique in
its approach to providing quality care for all children between the ages of
3 and 10. The center’s philosophy
flows from three basic beliefs which govern its programming:
1)
Children should be allowed to be children.
We expect a three-year old to be three, and a four year old to be
four, without the pressure to prepare for the next age or developmental
stage.
2)
Children learn best from each other, and they need to explore safely and
experiment with their environment.
3)
Each child brings to the program his or her unique cultural background.
We
strive to incorporate these characteristics into the child’s daily program.
The school year program is in
operation from September through June,
Monday through Friday, from 6:30am to
6:00pm.
During the summer program (July and
August),
the Center is open from 6:30am to 6:00pm,
Monday through Friday.
Program Services for Children
ages 3 through 10
Preschool:
A part-time morning program is
available for three, four, or five mornings a week,
between the hours of 9:00am and 1:00pm.
The full-time preschool program is
available five days a week throughout the school year.
Extended Day Kindergarten / School Age:
A “before and after” program is
offered during the school year
for children attending the local public
and parochial schools.
Parents must provide transportation
to the Center each morning and home in the evenings.
To meet the needs of working parents,
this program will remain open a full day on holidays
and during school vacations on a sign-up basis.

and Center, please call us and come visit.
You are most welcome!
