See first hand what an excellent program SAECC has to offer your child.

St. Alban’s Early Childhood Center, Inc. (SAECC) is a licensed, non-profit, coeducational, multi-cultural early childhood development center located next to the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The Center offers a developmentally appropriate pre-school curriculum for a multi-economic, multi-ethnic group of 52 children, ages two to five years. The Center was awarded accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 1997.

Field trips, music workshops and special activities add to our rich program. Children are grouped by age, with one teacher and one or two assistant teachers in each classroom.

SAECC is non-denominational and non-affiliated. Founded in 1972, the Center is guided by a Board of Directors comprised of parents, staff, a St. Alban’s Parish representative and interested community members from the metropolitan DC area.

Funding for the Center comes from tuition, grants, gifts and contracts with the D.C. Department of Human Services and the D.C. Public Schoold Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Our school year begins in September, however we have rolling enrollment throughout the year. As the five year-olds leave us at the end of the summer, new groups will be formed.
