Welcome to St. Alban’s Early Childhood Center
Dear Current, New, and Prospective Families:
Welcome to St. Alban’s Early Childhood Center!
We are so excited about your interest in our NAEYC accredited program.
As you peruse our website you will soon discover what distinguishes our program as one of the premier early learning experiences for young children.
Our community consists of 55 children and their families who are supported by 20 committed board members, 16 motivated staff members, and a roster of dedicated parent association members.
Our campus is located on the beautiful grounds of the Washington National Cathedral. We share a 57 acre campus on the close with St. Alban’s School for Boys, National Cathedral School for Girls, Beauvoir Elementary, and Cathedral College. Situated in Ward 3 of the nation’s capital we enjoy a spectacular view of the U. S. Capital and the Washington Monument. On our spacious grounds, the children and teachers enjoy walks along the wooded trails, frolicking in the Bishop’s garden, making sand castle under a shaded tree, or riding around a track in a spacious gated playground.
We are a community of diverse, family focused individuals who are committed to facilitating a life-long learning experience for our youngsters. We fulfill this mission by providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum, The Creative Curriculum. The children’s learning experience is enriched with weekly Spanish instructions, music and movement classes, yoga lessons, and international music sessions. Frequently field trips are taken to the areas many museums, galleries, libraries, merchants, farms, playgrounds, and schools. We make excursions to the National Zoo, Duke Ellington’s annual recital, Cathedral Flower Mart, and Cox’s Pumpkin Patch our annual favorites.
Aside from the program’s many offerings, I think what people like most about St. Alban’s Early Childhood Center is the dedication and commitment of its leadership, warmth and knowledge of the teachers, interest and involvement of the parents, and the manner in which we diligently work together to ensure that our children strive during their formative years and beyond.
Come by the center and see what make us so special. Our doors are open.
See you soon,
Donna C. Mason, Executive Director
