Our school first opened its doors in 1973.

Almost forty years later, we are still providing quality, structured, educational programs for children in the community. We operate as a non-profit, non-sectarian organization, and enroll without regard to creed, national origin, race, religious preference or sex.

Our program is licensed by the PA Department of Public Welfare and:

* Participates in the state licensed food program providing meals in accordance with current USDA guidelines
* Participates in the Keystone STARS program
* Accepts subsidized child care
* Provides age appropriate, structured curriculum
* Certifies all staff in First Aid and CPR
* Offers qualified, experienced, caring staff in every classroom
* Provides information for families seeking age appropriate developmental screenings, free of charge, through ELWYN and SPIN for all children in our program.

The Center opened with fifteen children in 1973. Today, we have over forty children enrolled. What started out almost forty years ago as a program that offered child care services, has now become an academic program offering Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-K classes for children eighteen months through five years old.

We believe the world of children is one of wonder and curiosity that should be explored fully by all children.

At St. Luke's, we strive to provide an environment that allows the "whole child" to develop: emotionally, physically, cognitively, and mentally. We encourage children to be creative and responsible beings so that they can develop into healthy, responsible individuals.

Our goal is to provide parents with a warm, caring environment for their most precious possessions. We give the children love and nurturing we would expect others to give our own children. We mend boo boos, nurse sicknesses and give hugs to comfort as needed. We foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and open, honest communication for all families within the center.
