The stated mission at St. Michael Preschool and Infant Care Center is guided by four core ideals: Love, Education, Community, and Communication. The program uses the Primary Infant / Toddler Curriculum (PITC) guided by Magda Gerber's philosophy, along with daily routines with consistent caregivers. Infant and mobile classes have a 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio and include two additional teachers, with one leading activity time and one providing 24/7 supervision in the nap room. For older children, the program uses a Common Core Standards inspired curriculum together with the preschool learning foundations from the California Department of Education and the California Desired Results Developmental Profile-Revised (DRDP-R) as a teacher observation tool. The toddler program is play-based with a Montessori approach, and there is a bilingual program in Spanish and English for 2–3 year olds, with low ratios of 12:3 in toddler and 2–3 year old classes. Families receive daily text messages with pictures, videos, and updates, as well as quarterly parent conferences and parent consulting services that can include a service plan and a sleep plan. The center is a bilingual school that supports language development in both English and Spanish and offers Nanny Care hours 24/7.

Through monthly family park outings, St. Michael Preschool and Infant Care Center organizes time for families to come together and share experiences outside the school setting. Parent testimonials describe experiences such as children arriving and going home happy each day, strong attachment to teachers and staff, and families returning to the program after trying other centers. Parents also report noticing communication from the center, responsiveness from staff, and long-term enrollment, including one family that has been attending for 11 months and another that attributes their children's perceived smartness to time spent with caregivers at St. Michael Preschool and Infant Care Center.
