Several years ago, Maggie HartMahon brought to the attention of the St. Roch Parish Council the need for an early childhood center for parish members and neighborhood residents.
The Executive Committee agreed and planning began in the spring of 1989. St. Roch Early Childhood Educational Center opened in the fall of 1990.
The center is located at 6040 Waterman in the east building of St. Roch School.
The goal of this early childhood center is to provide the best developmentally appropriate activities that meet the young child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs. St. Roch’s program encourages hands-on activities.
These include arts and crafts, blocks, housekeeping, quiet time, and music. Rose Flynn and Kathy Buckley are the teachers and Roberta Asher, Chris Gifford, and Teri Bryant serve as teachers’ aides.
The program has been well-received. Enrollment for the 1992-1993 school year already is closed. Applications for the waiting list and for the 1993-94 school year are being accepted now.
For further information, contact the director, Wilma Cantwell, at 726-2830.
