St. Stephen Early Childhood Development Program
|
-
Our Mission is to promote a child’s development to the
best of their potential - in an appropriate setting to children
in a Catholic environment for children with a variety of
abilities.
-
Our Vision is that the St. Stephen ECD will serve as an
outstanding model for early childhood education and an
alternative to the public school placement for children within
the City of St. Louis, especially those children with asthma or
allergies.

A Safe Haven for Children with Allergies
|
Children with asthma and allergies are not able to
attend regular early childhood development programs
due to their risk of life threatening reactions to
certain foods or due to air quality conditions.
St. Stephen Early Childhood Development Program (ECD) is
able to offer a safe and secure place for these children.
By eliminating allergens, both environmental
and food, and offering a multi-filtration air system
at the school premises, these children can
learn in an environment that is beneficial to
all involved. By opening the program to ALL children,
we are able to offer a broad spectrum of children from various
backgrounds (racial, economic, religious, etc.) and
integrate all children in a new school atmosphere.

Ages and Curriculum
|
St. Stephen ECD offers early childhood education
for children ages two and a half through five years
of age in two settings: a preschool classroom and
an early childhood development classroom. The
preschool offers a standardized preschool program,
which offers hands-on learning of developmentally
appropriate activities targeted to individual
learning styles. The curriculum touches on all
ubject matter and pre-academics, music, movement
and rhythm, and much more. The early childhood
development program focuses on socialization and preparing
for the preschool curriculum. It also focuses
on arts and crafts, individual and team skill
building and learning through play. We
have three full time staff members and two part
time staff members. To our knowledge, we
are the only school specifically designed for
the care and safety of children with asthma
and allergies in the nation. To date, we have
applied for over $540,000 in funding.
