Welcome to St. Albans Early Childhood Center
We are so excited about your interest in our stellar, OSSE gold star rated-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.
Collectively, 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, soccer training, and international music sessions. Aside from the program’s many offerings, I think what people like most about St. Albans 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 thrive 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 |

"The staff is warm, wonderful, and caring. I feel safe leaving my toddler in their care and she is learning so much. Sending her to St. Albans Early Childhood Center is one of the best decisions I could make as a parent."
"Our son has had the most incredible experience at SAECC. His teachers are attentive, engaging, and well-trained. They communicate effectively about our son's day at daycare, as well as how our son is developing overall. I highly recommend SAECC."
"SAECC and its dedicated faculty have been true partners in raising my two young daughters who each began their as infants. They truly love and care for each child as if he/she were their own. They also are talented educators who prepare kids for their next steps in schools. Ms. Marcia, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Donna are top-notch!"
"Wonderful community and very long and caring group of teachers. My son has been at the center since he was 6 months old and now almost 2. He's made great friends and develops and learns very well. He loves his teachers and all the activities he does throughout the day. I get updates and pictures and feel like communication is always there. We love SAECC!"
"We have been at St. Albans for the past three years. The teachers are attentive and deliver quality care/education everyday!! We absolutely love our experience there."
We've been very happy with this center. The teachers have been absolutely wonderful from the infant level through the preschool, and the facilities are really fantastic. It's a great program.
