About St William Early Childhood Development Ctr
St William Early Childhood Center
Located within the St. William Catholic Church parish, the Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) provides part-time care with a focus on spiritual growth and academic readiness. Director Patti Kudlak leads a program that integrates play-based learning with Catholic values, serving children from ages 2 to 5. The facility underwent recent renovations including HVAC updates and mold remediation to ensure a safe environment. Operating Tuesday through Thursday mornings, the program emphasizes low student-to-teacher ratios and a calm, joyful atmosphere. Staff members undergo rigorous screening, including FBI background checks and Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM) training. The program is designed as a ministry to families, seeking to connect with parents to best serve the individual needs of each child in a clean and organized setting.
What Parents Say
2 reviews from parents
Mrs. Patti, the director, is wonderfully kind, knowledgeable (always willing to answer questions and does so honestly), and loves the Lord. The ECDC is truly a ministry to the children and their families. While circumstances prevented us from completing the school year with the ECDC, we were so impressed by the teachers and how they sought information from parents to ensure that they were able to best connect with/serve the children in their care. You can tell that they love their jobs and that they want to create a calm, joyful environment for the children to grow in all aspects. The classrooms and facilities in general are clean and organized. I was very pleased when I looked up the state inspection reports (which I encourage all prospective families to do!), but not at all surprised given Ms. Patti's professionalism and enthusiasm. They also maintain low student:teacher ratios, so your child has more opportunities to benefit from attention from the teacher and assistant teacher. What a blessing to have such an excellent ECDC/preschool program where children can develop a deep relationship with Christ!
