Holy Family Children's Center

A nonprofit organization

Holy Family Children's Center is an early childhood program inspired by the extraordinary schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Over the past 28 years we have served hundreds of children and their families. We place great value on the competence, potential, and creativity of children.Our curriculum is child-led and teacher guided which allows children to express their ideas in many different ways. We foster children's curiosity, encourage them to explore their world and construct their own knowledge. Children learn best through play and when they are active participants in their own learning. We are providing children the building blocks for their development and advanced learning.
Our educators have a passion for working with children and nurture the relationships with them and their families. We pride ourselves on the 1:6 teacher to child ratio. This low ratio allows for quality interactions and individual attention.
Our families are very important to us and we see them as partners in their child's development. Our children and families form a strong connection with us and even after children graduate, many of them return to visit and volunteer to read to our children. Everyday, we are inspired by our amazing children and their families.

All donations will be added to our scholarship fund for families that may otherwise be unable to attend Holy Family Children's center.

Holy Family is a real gem of a preschool on the coast. and I feel so fortunate to have found it. I have found the Reggio approach for project-based, child-led learning has worked so effectively for my son. He is very well prepared for kindergarten. I really can't say enough good things about HFCC."~ Andrea Lessani
