February 9, 2023
St. Mary's Church and ECC & Preschool has joined Giving Hearts 2023. We are hoping to be able to buy new playground equipment for our children.
Our daycare started out as an after school program over 30 years ago. The need for good full-time care became so great that an all daycare was started and we are now a licensed center enrolling infant to Pre-K and after school children.
In 2005, St. Mary's School was forced to close but we are still using the same playground equipment that was used for those school-age children. That equipment is not suited for our little ones and we are hoping that we will be able to replace it with playground equipment that is more suitable and safer for the children we now serve.

Thank you for your generosity!
Please remember St. Mary's EEC & Preschool on "Giving Hearts Day" February 9, 2023.
