St. Mel’s Early Childhood Center
Catholic Academy
Queens
The St. Mel’s community is proud to announce
the opening of St. Mel’s Early Childhood
center, serving the Flushing, Whitestone,
College Point, and Bayside areas. We offer half
and full day Nursery, free, full-day Pre-K for
All and education from Kindergarten through
grade 3. Our mission is to foster the spiritual,
social, emotional and academic growth of our
students in a nurturing Christ-centered environment.
St. Mel’s promotes a strong Catholic
identity, emphasizing core values such as kindness,
integrity and respect to guide tomorrow’s
future leaders.
Educating the Whole Child
Young children learn best through play and
exploration. Our center-based approach allows
children to let their creativity flow, capitalize on
their interests and explore the world around
them. By providing rich, stimulating, developmentally
appropriate activities and learning
opportunities, our students expand their minds,
capitalize on their natural talents, grow their
imagination, and develop academic skills, all
while having fun. Our dedicated staff and family-like
atmosphere will support your child’s academic,
emotional and spiritual growth.
New Music Program
Music makes all people come together, so at
St. Mel’s Early Childhood Center, we are bringing
music to life. We are proud to introduce our
new, state of the art, piano studio, where we will
be making memories with music.
• Studies have shown that playing the piano
results in 35% higher test scores, as well as
increased pattern recognition, hand-eye coordination
and language skills

Sacred Heart CA of Glendale
Motivating Students in Glendale
Glendale, Queens
Based at the east end of
Glendale, Sacred Heart
Catholic Academy boasts
more than 75 years of
academic excellence.
With an education
mission centered on
Catholic values and studentfirst
philosophy, Sacred Heart
motivates students to become
lifelong learners.
Our students receive daily comprehensive
instruction in religion, reading, language
arts, writing, math, science, social studies,
penmanship, technology, Spanish, art, music,
library skills, physical education, health, and
public speaking. Additionally, in 2019 Sacred
Heart was awarded a grant which allowed us to
build a STEM Lab.
Despite the challenges we all faced during
the COVID-19 pandemic, Sacred Heart was able
to quickly and successfully pivot to distance
learning for all grades. Fortunately, during the
2019-2020 school year, all of our students were
equipped with either an iPad or a Chromebook,
which made for an easier transition once online
learning began.
Sacred Heart has proudly
been voted Best of the Boro’s
Best Catholic School for the
last two years in a row, and
we have been nominated
for a third year this summer.
Children’s Success
We acknowledge that each
child is unique and has the right
to succeed. We labor to provide an
environment that promotes the spiritual,
emotional, academic and physical development
of the child.
We challenge each youngster to realize his or
her fullest spiritual and academic potential, while
providing a safe environment in which they can do
so.
In 2021, we will be celebrating our 80th
anniversary. We are proud of all we have
accomplished in those years, and we look
forward to starting a new year with our students
in September.
