Child Care at Clover Patch Preschool

CARE IS AVAILABLE TO PRESCHOOL STUDENTS FROM 6:45 AM–5:30 PM

Your child will spend time learning and playing with friends. Day care students may bring a lunch or purchase hot lunch. Rest time allows them to refresh and rejuvenate in the early afternoon. Students enjoy outdoor play every day the weather permits. Our day care facility is in the Clover Patch building and consists of the spacious main day care room, two lunch areas, a rest-time room, and an additional flex room used for play, rest, and other activities.

We have two types of care to help busy families:

• Preschool Day Care: during the school day
• Circle of Care: wrap-around care before and after school hours 

Here's how they work:

• Preschool Day Care is available during the school day from 8:15 a.m.-3:15 p.m. in the Clover Patch building at 805 Main Street. Families may choose from two options: day care only on their child's preschool days or "full time" day care Monday–Friday when not in class. 

In the example below, a student is in morning preschool (green) and day care (orange) in the afternoon until 3:15. The opportunity to use wrap-around care (blue) in the early morning or late afternoon allows you flexibility for drop off and pick up.

• Circle of Care is the name for this flexible care in the early mornings and late afternoons. During these times, you pay for just the time used in 15-minute increments! We work to meet the needs of our families.
  • 6:45-8:00 a.m.  Drop off before 8 a.m. is at St. Patrick in the back of the school on 7th Street (glass doors on the playground). The preschool group enjoys story and play time in the Collaboration and Communication Center. They have their own space and stay separate from the older children. Breakfast is available for purchase at 7:40 a.m. Students ride the bus to Clover Patch at 8 a.m. This one-stop drop off helps families who have students at both Clover Patch and St. Patrick.
  • 3:15-5:30 p.m.  Afternoon Circle of Care is in the day care area at Clover Patch Preschool. Pick up is always at Clover Patch.

Day Care and Circle of Care are only open on days school is in session. If there is a 2-hour weather delay, Circle of Care will not open before school. Day Care at Clover Patch will open at 10 a.m. when K-8 begins.

Fees are set by the Catholic School Board. See the Fee Sheet on our Parent Resources page for child care and meal prices.
