ABOUT US

We offer an early childhood program built on the foundation of our Catholic Faith
At Saints Francis & Clare of Assisi's Early Childhood Ministry (ECM), we believe each child is gifted by God and possesses unique talents that we will strive to foster in a loving, faith-based environment. We are extremely proud of our rich Roman Catholic heritage and traditions. Our Catholic identity is the foundation of everything we do for our children.

Saints Francis & Clare of Assisi Catholic School opened its doors in 2006 to serve children and families seeking a 21st Century Catholic School education in the Center Grove area. Because we recognize the importance of early childhood education in the overall Catholic School experience, we opened the ECM to serve the needs of our young vibrant faith community.

OUR STAFF

Our professionally trained teachers and staff are the greatest strength of our program. We select our staff based on their nurturing abilities as well as educational background. Professional Learning Communities and professional development opportunities hold our teachers accountable for the kind of results that fuel continual improvement. We also share teaching and learning strategies at our weekly all-staff meetings.

In addition to professional development trainings that our staff completes, teams of teachers meet on a regular basis to make sure we are maintaining the highest standard of care for our children.

OUR FACILITY

Our new 12,000 square foot facility is located on the southeast portion of the parish property. The state of the art security system and climate controlled building provide a comfortable, safe environment that fosters to the needs of children. The center provides a loving and collaborative arena that children and staff can assist and learn from each other. The facility will serve children 6 weeks through Kindergarten.
