Early Childhood Program
- Why Choose Holy Family for Early Childhood?
  
  HFS is more academically based as compared to a daycare setting. Children learn the foundations of a positive school environment preparing them for kindergarten readiness. Academics are infused in a playful, nurturing center.
  
  We have a quiet community where the students are in a safely gated area. There is a designated early childhood play area. Children in early childhood experience additional “specials” like music, physical movement. We also have our own separate entrance for arrival and dismissal.
  
  We offer :
  
  Flexible schedule
  
  Nurturing environment
  
  Socialization skills
  
  Religion
  
  Physical and Social Development
  
  Fine & Gross Motor Skills
  
  STREAM activities (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art & Mathematics)
  
  Buddy classes, partnering with Mass as well as classroom activities. Share many of the same common spaces - seeing friends, cousins, siblings.
  
  Participate in the same school-wide activities as the elementary school students.
