Early Learning Center
The Mission of the Early Learning Center
St. Anthony School Early Learning Center is committed to providing a nurturing, God-centered environment that fosters a deep sense of value for self and others, and an appreciation for learning.
The Early Learning Center Program
Our Early Learning Center programs focus on the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development of the child through age-appropriate activities within an exciting learning environment. We foster academic learning through conceptual themes and activities and encourage peer interactions through our daily schedule.
The ELC also focuses on building community and a sense of belonging by having students participate in activities such as The Blessing of The Animals, May Day presentations, the Christmas program and the school-wide and monthly Mass gatherings.

The After School Program is an extension of the school day where students focus on learning through play within the structure of a school environment. It is available on a monthly basis ($150/mo) or on an hourly space available basis ($7.50/hr). A 24 hour request for child care is required for hourly care due to limited space. The After School Care program is open until 5:30p.m. everyday. See Extended Care Program

The Early Learning Center also participates in the Safe and Caring Schools program.
