Our mission

To provide a stimulating environment designed to promote social, cognitive, physical, and spiritual development. We provide a variety of learning experiences that encourage a positive self-image and a joy in the learning process. We respect each child as an individual with unique qualities of personality, intelligence, and creativity. Our staff has set up an environment that is clean, fun, creative and, most importantly, "child centered." We feel open lines of communication between parents and our St. Michael Team is how we build strong relationships. The main goal for Childcare is to provide the best possible care and experience for the children in our care.

St. Michael Parish Scrip Program

We are pleased to share some exciting news about a program our organization offers. It is called “Scrip”. The program that works while you shop.

Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money”. In other words, Scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. Hundreds of popular retailers participate in our Scrip program including Meijer, Shell Gas, Speedway, Cuginos and many, many others.

The program is simple. Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Families, like yours, buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and you and our school share the difference/rebate. Our school retains 14%, which goes towards the annual school budget and helps to cover expenses to run the program. Our families keep the remaining 86% of the difference. This amount may be applied to your childcare account or to other program offered at St. Michael.

For information or to enroll please see Resources/Link to the left above.
