Our all-day Daycare is for 3-6 year olds, who are potty trained. 

Saint Bernard Daycare is a Register Child Care Ministry.
We offer educational and childcare services for children, ages 3-12 years old.
We are located in the lower level of Saint Bernard School, which offers education
for Kindergarten through 8^th grade. The early childhood ministries were
established in 1992.

Our all-day childcare program includes a preschool curriculum. This is based on the Reggio approach, which is a blend of teacher-initiated activities that build on children’s interests and children’s self-directed activities and play. Activities are suited to children’s ages and abilities. It also addresses the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative areas of development.

The teachers and children work on many goals throughout the year. Goals include, but are not limited to: socialization, communication skills, self-help, fine motor skills, identifying colors and shapes, recognizing name, numbers, and alphabet, writing name correctly, knowing full name, phonic awareness, listening, following directions, and pencil and scissor control. The child’s age will determine which goals are stressed more.

The caregivers are staff of the Preschool & Daycare. We are dedicated to the wellbeing of each child who attends our school. Each teacher on the staff is trained annually in Infant/Child/Adult CPR, First Aid, and Universal Precautions & Blood borne Pathogens. The Director and lead teachers also participate in at least 12 hours of continuing education in early childhood each year. A background check, drug screening, and abuse & neglect check have been run on each staff member.
