St. Stephen ECD & Preschool
  • Our Mission is to promote a child's development to the best of their potential -- in an appropriate setting to children in an environment for children with a variety of abilities.
  • Our Vision is that the St. Stephen ECD & Preschool 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, or surrounding metropolitan areas, 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.
