About Us

Established in 1986, St. Luke ECC has become a trusted part of our community, providing a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning. We nurture the whole child through hands-on exploration, creativity, and a Catholic-centered environment.

We are blessed with a dedicated team of teachers and administrators, many of whom have been part of the St. Luke family for years. Several members of our staff are also parents of former St. Luke ECC preschoolers and feel a special calling to serve our school community. We are also honored to have many alumni children now attending our center — a true testament to the lasting impact and trust families place in St. Luke ECC.

All teachers and administrators are trained in First Aid, CPR, and Crisis Response. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of excellence in early childhood education.
