The Early Childhood Program at Holy Family Catholic School provides a warm, caring, risk-free environment where young children are encouraged to develop a positive image of themselves and others as they begin to live the Gospel Message. Children are challenged and encouraged to develop at their own pace through a rich variety of activities and experiences.

At the same time, children are given the time and space to be children; free to play, explore and imagine. The program is designed to lead them from wonder to discovery and from investigation to affirmation. All this is blanketed in the knowledge and awareness that we are all God's children and we are called by God to be Gospel people.

Holy Family Early Childhood Center works hand-in-hand with Holy Family Catholic School; we are two buildings, but one community built on the Catholic faith. The ECC works to integrate our children and their families into all aspects of the school community. Holy Family Catholic School is accredited by the Florida Catholic conference. The school and early childhood center meet the standards required by the FCC. The center also receives an annual certificate indicating that it meets substantial compliance with Pinellas County License Board standards as prescribed by Florida Statutes.

Give your child more

The Early Childhood Program at Holy Family Catholic School is among the finest in the area and will provide your child with experiences that enrich all aspects of life; spiritual, physical, social and intellectual. Learning may look like child's play here, but the play is orchestrated by skilled teachers with a serious goal: the steady development of the social, emotional, and intellectual skills that young children need to succeed in school.

The school’s Four Year Old Program is participating in the Florida VPK program for the 2009-10 school year.

Our program provides:

• An age and developmentally appropriate experience.
