A PLACE TO DISCOVER, LEARN, GROW...

About St. Clare Nursery School

St. Clare Nursery School is a non-profit, non-discriminating Christian Cooperative early childhood program. Our teachers are well-educated, experienced, dedicated and caring individuals. We provide a safe, nurturing and loving environment for three and four year olds where teachers and parents work together to offer a quality educational program. Parent participation is required and essential to our nursery school.

Parents who enroll their children in St. Clare Nursery School want to be involved in their child’s education. They believe in supporting the teachers and adding to the quality of their children’s first learning experience. Helping children discover, learn, and grow is what St. Clare Nursery School is all about.

The program is licensed by the State of Michigan Department of Human Services. We have been affiliated with St. Clare of Montefalco Catholic School since 1990.

Mission Statement

The Mission of St. Clare Cooperative Nursery School is to provide a developmental early childhood program where teachers, parents, and children work, play, learn, grow, and discover together. We strive to educate the whole child. Our safe, nurturing, and loving learning environment encourages the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language growth of each child at their own pace.
