Early Education Center (EEC)

The Prince of Peace Early Education Center has been designed to meet the educational needs of our parish families. Families must be registered with the parish and tithing regularly as participating members of the parish.

The Early Education Center is fully licensed by the State of Kansas and all  staff members are experienced and certified. We provide a safe, caring and academically sound environment for the young children of the parish.

All programs are developmentally appropriate with the added bonus
of Catholic education and prayer. Our goal is to enable the children
to develop spiritually, socially, academically and physically.
We believe that nothing is more important than to provide
an environment that fulfills the complete needs of your child!

We provide full-time and part-time preschool in addition to
before and after school care (ASC) for full-day Prince of Peace Elementary School students.
