Marist School Early Learning Center (Marist ELC) offers a childcare facility to teachers and staff to enable them to be more effective as a teacher knowing that their own children are being cared for in a safe, nurturing, and healthy environment.  This program is designed to promote the child’s well-being spiritually, mentally, and physically.  Our program is designed to meet the individual needs of each child in our care.  We believe that the time a child will spend at the ELC is an important part of his or her growth and development.  We strive to have the best staff available so that the ELC operates under the same values and standards that are an integral part of the greater school community.
