Your child's education begins in infancy as they begin to discover the world around them. Our staff of trained professionals help your child explore the world around them and engage with other infants and their caregivers every day.
Growth and learning in toddler years is promoted through each child’s curiosity. Our toddler programs are designed to encourage your toddler's zest for wonder and inquisitiveness.
Our team works daily with your child to achieve developmental milestones and educational goals. Our play based approach to learning allows preschool children to learn through both group and self-directed activities.
Your child will work toward becoming independent, as they learn to communicate and build positive relationships through engaging activites and social interactions.
Child and Center Safety
The safety, well being and comfort of your child is our main priority. At St. Mary Child Care Center, we believe children thrive in a safe and secure environment. Our staff is trained to ensure your child is safe, nurtured and educated.
St. Mary Child Care Center is equipped with safety badges for all parents, staff and administration. Cameras are positioned throughout the exterior of the building to assist in keeping your child safe. Children are signed in and out electronically by their parents using the Procare App, which also provides constant communication between parents and staff.
Beyond the secure environment is our core philosophy of nurturing your child as they develop their primary abilities. From cognitive and physical development to emotional and communicative skills, we give your child a safe place to flourish as they grow from year to year.

We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience at St. Mary’s Childcare Center. All three of our daughters attended, and from day one we knew they were in the very best hands. The teachers are incredibly kind and loving — we never once questioned their care.
The center is always super clean and well maintained. After trying other daycares in the past where our girls frequently came home with bugs, it was such a relief that this was rarely ever an issue at SMCC. The low staff turnover was also a huge blessing; having the same wonderful teachers with each of our children made the experience feel consistent and personal.
Academically, our daughters were beyond prepared for kindergarten — even testing in the 99th percentile. But more than that, SMCC gave them a foundation of confidence, kindness, and a sense of community. It truly is a beautiful place, and we are so thankful for the years our family spent there!

St. Mary Child Care Center provided our family with a safe and enriching environment for our son from 1 years of age until 5 years of age. He attended the center Monday through Friday full days and was in almost every classroom. The teachers and support staff in the whole center were professional, kind, and encouraging. The treated our son and our family with love and respect.Â
St. Mary Child Care Center made a difference in our son’s life in many ways – but most notably in the way they prepared him for kindergarten.  Each classroom, teacher, and support staff taught independence, social and cognitive skills, and the knowledge of numbers and letters before entering Kindergarten. In addition, they provided nutritious and tasty well-balanced meals each day.
Â
Our son’s fondest memory of St. Mary Child Care Center is the Kindergarten-Readiness Graduation event. The center pulls out all the stops for this amazing event – recognizing each child and their family. The police escorted car parade, the hot dogs, cake, and ice-cream on the front lawn, as well as the games and other events made him so proud of all the work he had accomplished in pre-school.  He was so proud to have graduated!
We’d recommend St. Mary Child Care Center to other families for many reasons – the faith-based environment, the cleanliness of the center, the engaging curriculum, etc. But the primary reason we would recommend the center is because of the staff and teachers. Each person that came into contact with our son was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. Many of the teachers and staff have been at the center for years – which goes to show their dedication and love for the children and the center. We are truly thankful for all they did for us and our son.
