School Notes

St. Luke's Dayschool opened in 1973 to provide quality child care to working families in the Northeast.
We operate as a non-profit, non-sectarian organization, and enroll without regard to creed, national origin, race, religious preference or sex.
We provide a fun, dafe, academic program for children ages three to five.
We began the Start with Stars in the Spring of 2005, and quickly received our Star One designation.
We are currently working on our Star Two designation, but have stalled a bit in order to receive a second Star One Fiscal Grant.
We believe the world of children is one of wonder and curiosity that should be explored fully by all children.
At St. Luke's, we strive to provide an environment that allows the whole child to develop: emotionally, physically, cognitively, and mentally.
We encourage children to be creative and responsible beings so that they can develop into healthy, responsible individuals.
Our goal is to provide parents with a warm, caring environment for their most precious possessions.
We give the children love and nurturing we would expect others to give our own children.
We mend boo boos, nurse sicknesses and give hugs to comfort as needed.
We foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and open, honest communication for all families within the center.

School Motto: We believe the world of children is one of wonder and curiosity that should be explored fully by all children.
