Educating Students from 6 weeks old through the 8th Grade

About "Early C"

St. Mary Catholic School Early Child Development Center

The St. Mary Catholic School community is excited to support the needs of students from six weeks of age to preschool readiness at our Seton Center campus. St. Mary Catholic School believes that every child is made in the image and likeness of God and that every child can and will learn. To best support the specific needs of students at The Early Learning Development Center, a curriculum in compliance with Archdiocesan and NAEYC recommendations and standards is implemented.

The mission of St. Mary Catholic School promises to provide an environment where Jesus’ message of love meets the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs of their students. We are excited to expand our mission to serve students from six weeks old through the eighth grade in a continued effort to make Mary proud.

Staff members all hold a Mobile County food handlers card, are CPR trained, are required to complete DHR background checks and fingerprinting, and have completed the Archdiocesan Child Protection training program.
