About
St. Mary’s Early Childhood Center – Preschool Program is part of a not-for-profit agency that offers a Preschool Program and a Professional Development Program. The Preschool Program has a strong history of serving preschool children who live in poverty and are at life and learning risk. The Professional Development Program provides professional development opportunities for community educators and focuses on the Educational Philosophy from Reggio Emilia, Italy and Applied Educational Neuroscience research and practices for behavioral health.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–5:30 pm
• Price: Children are able to attend the preschool program for as little as $10 per week; the cost per child exceeds $15,000 per year, and the cost per child is $10,000 per year.
St. Mary’s Early Childhood Center’s mission statement is based on the premise that the children served are inherently competent, capable, and strong. The center integrates highly effective professional educators with a proven learning philosophy and uses qualitative measures to show impact. It impacts preschool children in poverty who are at life and learning risk with high quality cognitive, creative, social, physical, and emotional learning experiences that transition into a foundation for lifelong success. The center states that it is accountable to the children and families served, stakeholders and contributors, and the early childhood learning community.
St. Mary’s Early Childhood Center reports that 93% of students are living in poverty, and one hundred percent of the children who qualify for free or reduced lunch receive substantial assistance. It reports that 85% of children leave at a 5-year-old developmental level, and that the great majority of children enter kindergarten at a 5-year-old level in all domains of development. Through community support, the Board, donors, and funders are dedicated to funding the participation of children who live in poverty in the Preschool Program. Scholarships are available for educators working with children living in poverty and/or dealing with adversity.
All schools operated by schools and parishes under the guidance of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin and do not discriminate on that basis in administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. The Board and Staff Diversity Plan for 2021–2022 is reviewed and updated annually. The leadership team includes Michelle Radomsky as Executive Director, Ashley Flaumenhaft as Director of Programs, Shannon Mason as Chief Development Officer, Diane Pike as Director of Outreach & Professional Development, and Maria Janik as Director of Operations.
