Mount Alvernia Day Care and Learning Center
A
warm, caring and nurturing environment is provided to children ranging
in age from six weeks to 12 years old at the Mt. Alvernia Day Care and
Learning Center. The center is located in St. Clare Hall on the Motherhouse
campus.
Since 1987, hundreds of children have received expert, attentive care
from certified teachers, assistant group supervisors, aides and volunteers.
The center meets and exceeds the state certification of compliance requirements
for child care.
Children are grouped according to age for their day's activities. Activities
and learning experiences are offered to meet and enhance the progress
and growth of children at each stage of their development. Our sisters and partners in ministry staff the center. From this team
of 40, a good ratio of adults to children is maintained.
Snacks, naps and outdoor activities help create a "home-like"
atmosphere for the children. The 18-acre campus, with its safe playground
area, provides ample space for walks and a variety of outdoor activities
during all seasons.
A strong concern for safety and security allows you to enjoy peace-of-mind
when you enroll your children in our day care. Among other things, children
arrive and depart in an area away from busy city traffic.
