St. Norbert College Children's Center
Preschool in De Pere, WI 54115
Children are special gifts. They need love, care and guidance. Families are being challenged to adjust to differing expectations in meeting their child’s needs. Cultural and economic changes are causing the home environment to change and increasing the demand for outside care for children. The Children’s Center prides itself on providing quality care that helps parents meet these needs.
Child care at the Children’s Center is not intended to replace parental care and interest but to enhance the child’s life experience while separated from the parents. Our environment will provide experiences so that each child can grow in inner discipline, independence, self-worth and respect for others. Learning and exploring should be an enjoyable adventure within safe and caring bounds. The Children’s Center provides that planned climate for adventure.
St. Norbert College Children’s Center is dedicated to the total growth and development of each child. The Children’s Center is designed to provide a nurturing atmosphere with appropriate space, equipment and materials. Through competent teacher guidance and carefully selected programs, children are able to develop socially, cognitively, emotionally and physically. The curriculum consists of experiences that are based on activities appropriate for young children.
At St. Norbert, we believe in a “hands-on” approach to learning. Children and adults learn best in an environment that is set up to foster curiosity and to provide challenges without fear of failure. There will be an emphasis on the total learning environment which includes a variety of activities both inside and outside on a daily basis.

The childcare program is founded on the following beliefs about children:
Parents are the most pervasive and influential teachers of their children. Curriculum is everything that a child experiences, from the time they get up in the morning until the time they go to bed in the evening. Each childs uniqueness must be respected and fostered. Children grow and develop at individual rates that are often unique and unrelated to their calendar age. Children need curriculum that moves slowly from the concrete to the abstract. Children learn best through a hands-on approach. Learning is what children do, not what is done to them. They must be active and directly involved in their own learning.
