We are thrilled to introduce the launch of St. Joseph School’s Early Learning Center, nestled on the beautiful St. Pat’s Campus. This nurturing environment will serve children from three months to five years, creating a joyful and faith-based “home away from home.”
Prepare to hear the cheerful sounds of children playing in our planned natural-scape playground. Roanoke Park, just across the street, will provide additional space for daily walks, play, and exploration.
At St. Joseph School, it is our responsibility as educators to acknowledge our students' unique gifts from an early age. Our dedicated teachers will thoughtfully guide your children into this nurturing and supportive community. Our fully licensed ELC program emphasizes safe, welcoming, play-based learning steeped in the Catholic faith and Jesuit tradition, developing students who are loving, learning, growing, just, and reverent.
We practice cura personalis, nurturing each child’s mind, body, and spirit while fostering a kind community.
Children learn through hands-on, socially attuned experiences that promote self-awareness and healthy conflict resolution.
Our outdoor practices inspire curiosity to recognize the divine in all things.
Carefully curated experiences meet each child's developmental needs and support a smooth transition to Kindergarten at St. Joseph School.
Each child's strengths are celebrated, while support is offered for individual challenges.
We have four distinct communities as part of the Early Learning Center. Each intentional community is designed to provide a nurturing environment where the children can learn and grow.
