St. Andrew’s Day Care & School, Inc., a ministry of St. Andrew’s Grove, celebrated its one-year anniversary on February 1, 2022. They opened during the COVID-19 pandemic with one Director, one teacher, a cook and 4 kids. Within 6 months they had a Director, four teachers, one cook and 31 kids. They have passed all City, County, State, and Tribal Inspections with 100% scores, and in 2022 they will receive a 3-Star Rating from OK-DHS, the highest rating available! Their mission is to provide a positive learning environment and present unique educational opportunities while serving freshly-made, wholesome meals and snacks.
Dr. David Bridges, Priest at St. Andrew’s Grove and President of the Day Care likes to ask the question, “How far back can you remember?”
“If you can only remember back to about 3 years of age They are not gone; they are your primary programing for life.”
St. Andrew’s Day Care & School, Inc. now serves up to 60 children ages infant to 5 years, and provides an after-school program for ages 6-11 years. They provide employment for 7 families and serve children from the Cherokee Nation, Wyandotte Nation and Seneca-Cayuga Tribe, and non-tribal families.
In the course of their first year, they have witnessed positive changes in the lives of children, and they continue to improve and grow their educational offerings to encourage a well-rounded early childhood experience that will last a lifetime.
Director Talitha Daniels is committed to providing the best day care experience for our children and their families. For more information, call 918-786-1022 or 918-786-4113, or e-mail: talithaklyn@gmail.com.
