HISTORY
On January 3, 1978, St. Pius X Early Care and
Education Center opened with 22 children.
With God's help, we have grown both in numbers and services rendered.
We have expanded all programs, and worked diligently toward providing the
best possible care for the children.
In December of 1992, we were among the first ten Day Care Centers in the
United States to be accredited by the National Early Childhood Program
Accreditation through the National Child Care Association.
GOALS
AND PHILOSOPHY
St. Pius X Early
Care and Education Center was begun with one main goal in mind.
We are here to give the children entrusted to us the best care. Our main goal is to provide good, loving care
for your children - care centered around Christ and His teachings.
We
want to make sure that we make your children happy, that we listen to them, and
that we take care of them with tender loving care.
The extra hug, the gentle touch, and the pat on the head are important.
We strive to do these at all times; your children are our primary
concern.
How
and what we teach your children is more important than how much we teach them.
Learning must be fun for these little ones; so the periods of instruction
are kept short and limited according to each age group.
Play
is the most important way for very young children to learn.
Outside play directed play and free play are important in the learning
process of young pre-school children.
We want your children to enjoy their day while learning.
At St. Pius X Early Care and Education Center we try to be kind and loving to your children, yet firm and consistent in discipline. We want your children to know that we truly love them, that they are special people, that this is their home away from home, and that we really care for them in Christ's name.
PRAYER FOR PARENTS
Most
Loving Father, the example of parenthood, you have entrusted your children to us
to bring them up for you and prepare them for everlasting life.
Assist us with your grace, that we may fulfill this sacred duty with
competence and love. Teach us what to give -- and what to withhold.
Show us when to reprove -- and when to praise -- and when to be silent.
Make us gentle and considerate, yet firm and watchful.
Keep us from the weakness of indulgence and the excess of severity. Give us the courage to be disliked sometimes by our children,
when we must do necessary things that are displeasing in their eyes.
Give us the imagination to enter into their world in order to understand
and guide them. Grant us all the
virtues we need to lead them by word and example in the ways of wisdom and
piety. One day; with them, may we
enter into the joys of our true and lasting home with You in heaven.
AMEN.
