Sometimes God whispers to us in quiet, gentle ways—through a tug on the heart or a sense that we’re meant to do more. If you feel that calling, we invite you to consider sharing your gifts with our children and our community. At St. Bernadette Child Development Academy, your work becomes a reflection of His love, shaping young hearts and planting seeds that last a lifetime. If you feel Him leading you here, we would be honored to walk that journey with you.
We’re proud of our Academy! Our modern facility has 11 classrooms, giving each age group its own space to learn and grow. All classrooms are accessed from inside the building, and visitors check in at the front desk for added security and peace of mind. Plus, with cameras throughout the classrooms, hallways, gym, and outdoor areas, you can rest easy knowing your child is safe while exploring and learning.
