Programs

Four programs,
one set of values.

All four run Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The office is open 9:00 to 5:00.

Infant Care

Six weeks
to two years old.

A warm, nurturing room where your baby’s primary caregiver is an experienced professional, someone building the curiosity, exploration and creativity that carry the rapid development of a first year.

Care is personalized around your child’s own schedule, nutrition and any exceptional needs. It is more than daycare. It is keeping your baby happy, engaged and secure, in partnership with you.

At two years old, children graduate into the preschool program.

A classroom with sky-blue walls, a tissue-paper rainbow and sun on the wall, a welcome board, an alphabet rug and low tables with small chairs
A classroom at St. Martin: paper rainbow, welcome board, alphabet rug
A preschool classroom with mint walls, ivy hung from the ceiling, a lit sky-and-clouds ceiling panel, a blue kidney table and an alphabet rug

Preschool

A preschool that
earns the name.

This is “not a babysitting service.” The program exists to prepare a child for kindergarten. Seven classrooms, each with a teacher and two assistant teachers, kept completely separate from the after-school program.

The curriculum is custom-built and Christ-centered, and our curriculum instructor updates it every year against public-school standards so the transition to kindergarten is seamless, with real attention to social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth.

  • Roughly 10,000 sq ft of indoor play space per facility
  • Separate outdoor play areas from the school-age children
  • Video monitoring throughout

Before & After School

K through 6th,
with a ride both ways.

Before-school care starts at 6:00 AM with transportation to all Lower and Upper Elementary schools in Ocean Springs, St. Martin and Long Beach. After school, children are picked up and brought to a structured afternoon of homework support, activities and Christian values, running until 6:00 PM.

And on teacher work days, fall break, Christmas break and spring break, the doors stay open all day, at no extra charge.
