Center Tours / Classroom Observations

SMCC encourages interested parents to schedule a center tour or classroom observation during school hours. The energy and excitement of our students is contagious, and you will be able to see the Stella Maris philosophy in action.

You will also experience the SMCC culture and strong sense of community. Tours and classroom observations take place on a per request basis and must be scheduled in advance.

To schedule your tour or observation please contact our Assistant Program Coordinator Karla White at 314-367-7950.

Admission Decisions

Admission is based on family need and availability. Criteria such as family income, family size, employment status, and other factors are considered to determine which families have the greatest need for our services. SMCC will not render a decision on an application until all required materials have been received.

SMCC slots fill quickly and we encourage interested families to make inquiries and submit an application at their earliest opportunity to be included on our wait-list. If your child has been accepted but a space is not currently available, your child will be placed in our wait pool. If a change in enrollment occurs, SMCC will fill the available space(s) from our wait pool.
