St. Nicholas Hall: 6 Weeks-6 Years

EduCare is a child care center licensed by the State of Minnesota for over 35 years. Cotter's Early Childhood Education Center is located at St. Nicholas Hall and operates year-round. It serves infants 6 weeks through entering Kindergarten. Children can attend full-time (40+ hours per week) or part-time. If children are enrolled in preschool at St. Nicholas Hall, they can use EduCare before and after school. The curriculum series used by our teachers is called Creative Curriculum and encompasses all subject areas. 

Children should be dressed neatly and appear ready for a day filled with learning and play. All clothing should be the appropriate size, cover undergarments at all times, and be in good repair; free of holes, rips or tears. Tank tops, halter tops and sleeveless shirts/dresses are not allowed, unless covered by another garment. Shorts can be worn April through October, weather permitting. A pair of shorts should be worn under dresses or skirts year-round. Shoes or sandals, with socks, must be worn at all times. Sandals and clogs must have a heal strap (no flip-flops allowed). All wording and graphic images on clothing must be age appropriate.
