As enrollment begins for the 2026–2027 school year, St. Mary’s Catholic School is excited to highlight the continued growth of its early childhood programs with the addition of the Little Saints Two-Year-Old Program, further strengthening the school’s commitment to providing a nurturing and faith-filled foundation for young learners. As part of St. Mary’s existing PreK 3 and PreK 4 programs, the Little Saints initiative expands the school’s Early Learning Center to serve families with children as young as two years old. The program reflects St. Mary’s mission of forming the whole child — spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally — within a safe and caring Catholic environment.
The Little Saints two-year-old program offers full-day, year-round care with daycare hours, designed to meet the needs of working families while introducing young children to early learning experiences through play, exploration, and faith-based activities. In addition, after-school care is available for PreK 3 and PreK 4 students, creating a seamless and supportive experience for families with children in the early childhood programs.
“Our goal is to provide a strong and loving foundation for our youngest students while supporting families in our community,” said Stephen Wren, Principal of St. Mary’s Catholic School. “The Little Saints program allows children to begin their educational journey in a faith-filled environment while also meeting the practical needs of today’s families.”
St. Mary’s Catholic School has long been known for its commitment to academic excellence and faith formation for students in PreK through 12th grade. The expanded Early Learning Center continues that tradition by providing developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for young children in a setting that emphasizes kindness, curiosity, and a love of learning. The Little Saints program complements the school’s existing preschool offerings and serves as an important first step in a child’s educational journey at St. Mary’s.
