Renovate the Early Childhood Center

The Early Childhood Center (ECC) is the front porch for St. Paul's, and it should serve as a warm entryway for current and prospective families. Through Game Changers, we will transform the ECC into a more nurturing learning environment and create an impressive and welcoming experience for our entire community.

Project timeline: TBD based on funding

To learn how you can support the Game Changers campaign, please reach out to Michelle Rodriguez, Director of Development, at mrodriguez@speds.org or 816.268.6537.

Our Game-Changing Vision

Redesign Our Classrooms

Our new Early Childhood classrooms will feature floor-to-ceiling walls to help with noise management and create a better learning environment.

Create A Welcoming Entryway

We plan to renovate the Main Lobby to create vibrant, welcoming focal point for our school. 

Why It Matters

We are investing in our youngest students and building spaces that better support their learning. This investment will enhance the daily chapel experience, attract prospective families, and ensure our school stands out among the competition for many years to come.

 

The ECC is the foundation of St. Paul's. The early Years are critical in developing not only a love of learning but also all the social and emotional skills that are required to succeed later in the higher-level, complex academics. Updating the ECC will strengthen the foundational school experience for future generations of St. Paul's graduates.Devon Hickey, St. paul's Parent & Early Learner Teacher
