Our Christian Identity
- We embrace diversity and accept children/families of all religions, while keeping our Christian identity.
- We are an Archdiocesan Child Care Center, which means that we are part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
- We do offer a Christian environment and do expose the children to a Christian curriculum.
- If you personally have any questions regarding our Christian curriculum, please feel free to speak to the director at any time.
Center Curriculum
- We are a faith based Early Childhood Educational Program under the Philadelphia Archdiocese. In faith we pray in our individual classrooms during “Morning Meetings” and as well as before all meals. Prayer is a huge part of the faith based curriculum and atmosphere we ensure at HFCC. Alongside a commitment to faith first we guarantee a comprehensive and structured Early Childhood Education experience in which learning through play is prioritized, with Frog Street Curriculum being implemented in all classrooms. Starting in January 2024, we began to implement Frog Street Curriculum: a curriculum that meets children ages 0-5 where they are. Frog Street is a highly rated dual language curriculum that integrates the following key learning domains: cognitive, social-emotional, language and physical development to ensure a joyful and intentional learning experience.
Educational Philosophy
Holy Family Child Care was founded on the philosophy that each child is unique, created by God and deserving to be treated as the gift from God that said child truly is. Our staff offers a hands-on, learn through play approach to Early Childhood Education which offers your child the opportunity to grow, fosters creativity, and encourages them to become critical thinkers. Holy Family Child Care also recognizes that a child’s parents are truly their first and most important teacher. Therefore, all parents will be treated with respect and will be encouraged to be an active part of the childcare team.
