Our Philosophy
- The child is the primary focus of St. Therese Early Education Center.
- We provide a secure, warm, and nurturing catholic environment, which creates a sense of school family and community.
- We endeavor to meet each child’s individual developmental needs specifically in the areas of social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language through our curriculum framework, educational philosophies and catholic beliefs.
- We believe learning occurs when children are actively involved with their environment, other children and adults.

Distinctly Catholic
Our patron saint, St. Therese. The statue was donated by long time parishioner Bernie Deister. | Academically excellent
During the cafeteria project, a 5 year old child creates her own name tag for the clean-up crew. She used inventive spelling. |
