Early Childhood Development


Many parishes offer early childhood programs and services that meet the needs of families with young children, from six months to five years old, who desire quality child care and age appropriate faith formation and educational opportunities for their children. Families experience welcoming, supportive atmospheres, where Catholic values and identity are paramount and parish/ home collaboration is encouraged. Resources and professional growth opportunities, including an annual conference, "Let the Children Come", are available for parish leaders and early childhood educators.
