The mission of St. Alban's is to provide courteous, convenient, comprehensive, quality child care and family services. Our program provides for the child's physical, emotional, intellectually healthy development.
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) and look to various organizations (federal, state, etc.) to help fund the work that we do for our children and families.
St. Alban’s was founded in 1949 and is dedicated to early childhood education and the families of the children we serve.
Over 70 years more than 10,000 children have been served with our two locations and we hope to serve 10,000 more.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children learn best when they are encouraged and supported by parents and teachers through child initiated and age appropriate activities.
We will provide a safe, supportive and loving environment that will promote learning and allow children to achieve their fullest potential.
Our staff will promote self-development, cultural identity and respect for others.
Parents are encouraged to participate in learning activities both at school and at home.
The most important growth and development in the brain happens by the age of five. Children who participate in high-quality early childhood education programs develop better language skills, score higher in school-readiness tests and have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school.
