We recognize that a low ratio of children to staff is critical for maintenance of quality care. Our child to staff ratio is 10:1, as recommended by the National Association for Education of Young Children. Sacred Hearts Daycare also recognizes the need for consistency in a child's daily care. Staff retention and professional development opportunities have always been high on the list of our program priorities. Several staff members have been with Sacred Hearts Daycare since its inception. Our staff has combined teaching and daycare experience of over 40 years, consistently exceeds the in-service and continuing education hours required by the state.
