About Us

Director’s Message

Since our opening day on July 7, 1997, it has been our goal to create an environment for children that would teach good Christian values hand in hand with learning and play activities.

Here at St. Clare, we strive to provide a childcare center that values kindness and respect for each other in a nurturing and supportive setting.

In our classrooms, we offer learning materials and educational enhancements, as well as fun projects and a wonderful opportunity for socialization. Extra activities such as Spanish, sign language and in-house field trips add to our curriculum.

We have a strong sense of community here at our preschool. The choice to blend a Christian atmosphere with good learning materials in a place that’s fun and challenging for children makes St. Clare a special place.

What a great joy it is to share and experience your child’s early years. It is an honor and a pleasure to have your child at our preschool.

— Nancy Melzer, Preschool Director

Mission & Philosophy

Our Mission Statement

The community of St. Clare invites everyone to share and celebrate the transforming power of God’s love through worship, education and service to others.

Our Philosophy

We believe that each child is a unique and special person, endowed with an individual dignity, which should be nurtured and developed as one with the body and the mind. The support of a caring and intimate community allows your children to develop self-confidence.

By recognizing different temperaments and learning styles, by challenging and encouraging, and by working as a team, our staff will help the children to develop their identity.
