Our school is open during the school year and our preschool program is part time. We currently do not offer child care for our preschool students. Our 3 year old students attend on T/Th from 8:05-11:00 and our 4 year old students attend school on M/W/F from 8:05-11:00. Our Young 5 students are in school M-Th from 8:00am-3:00pm. We do not have school or care for our Young 5 students on Fridays. Elementary school students are eligible for before and after care programs. I am amazed at how our school has grown over the past few years! What a magnificent blessing this school has been to this community! We have welcomed beautiful children and amazing families who entrust us with them each day. We are excited to accept new preschool and elementary students as we continue to grow. For those of you who don’t know, the school opened its doors in the fall of 2018 and welcomed 45 students in grades Preschool through Kindergarten. Our first year was exciting and humbling as we learned together and began forming the school we wanted to become. Now, a few years later, we have several students whose family chose St. Robert as the place to call home as their educational choice for their children. In 2018, we simply wanted you to know that our school’s story was beginning and that it started here with all of you. Now, a few short years later, we have found something very special, and spiritual is happening in the halls of the school and within our parish. Children are entering this building every day, excited to learn about God and grow in their faith. They look forward to praying with their classmates and attending Mass together. Yes, they are learning to read, understand numbers and mathematical concepts, and all the other subjects that go along with a fantastic school, but most importantly, they are immersed in their Catholic faith for 8 hours each day. We are committed to continuing to evolve our programming, focusing more intentionally on building the STEM curriculum into our Catholic immersion model and grow our 3-year-old preschool and elementary school. This immersion of faith is what makes a Catholic school special. Here, we can tell our students that we love them, and share in their lives in a unique way because we share these special and spiritual beliefs. Our student body is growing, because families are yearning for a safe place where their children can learn and grow. Please reach out and let me know if you are interested in having a conversation about the school, or if you would like to come by for a tour. I absolutely love talking about our school and sharing the wonderful things that are happening here with prospective parents and students. We are looking forward to our next school year and another exciting year of growing together and building an amazing school where we can focus on our mission. St. Robert Catholic School provides a premier Catholic STEM based education where students are immersed daily in their faith which empowers them to become the individual God created her/him to be.

I own a group daycare home in Rockford, Michigan. I offer a daily curriculum for ages birth to age 5. My home is located on 5 wooded acreas, we play outside a lot in the summer and have daily outdoor time throughout the year. I have worked hard to develop an inviting, warm program where children can experience life 'hands on'. I believe that children learn through play, and the curriculum and environment reflects this. I staff three people per day, and each day about half the children are 2 years old or less and half are preschoolers. I have a bachelor's degree in forestry, and believe that children need to have natural outdoor experiences daily. I was also an owner of an art gallery, specializing in children's portraits, and promote art experiences with the children daily. I believe that children need to get messy to truly experience life and that they should be in an environment where they can take safe risks, both physically and cognitively. I have a CDA (Child Development Accreditation) and am currently going back to school for a degree in Early Child Development.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Ada, MI

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Ada, MI. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Ada, MI for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Ada, MI, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Ada, MI.
