Bishop Baraga Academy offers childcare from birth to twelve years old. Our scheduling for childcare will attempt to be flexible and help families time-share slots with other families who do not require full-time care. We feel strongly that it is valuable when a child can spend time with family. This period is a whirlwind of rapid brain development and profound learning. In fact, during these early years, your little one's brain is like a sponge, eagerly soaking up knowledge and forming crucial connections at an astonishing pace. But rest assured, every moment we spend interacting with your child is an opportunity for learning and growth. Whether it's singing nursery rhymes, playing peek-a-boo, or simply cuddling close, we will actively be nurturing your child's development in ways both big and small.
The childcare center will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. As you know, caring for children can be exhausting, so to ensure our staff has an adequate balance between life and work, we will be closed on Good Friday, the week of July 4th, the Friday after Thanksgiving, December 24, and Christmas. These are in addition to the traditional New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. Specific details will be provided in the parent handbook during enrollment Tuition is calculated on a daily basis, with weekly payments due before Friday.
