VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – St. Catherine School is exploring the possibility of establishing a daycare facility to serve families in the local community. As part of this initiative, the school is conducting a Daycare Needs Survey to assess the demand for childcare services and gather feedback from area residents with children 12 years and younger.

St. Catherine School has supported the community for many years by providing space for private tenant’s daycare and hosting the Circle of Friends Preschool. This survey will help determine how a new daycare center—owned and operated by the school or a private tenant renting space—can address childcare needs in Valley City and the surrounding area.

Spokesman Nicholas Lee said we invite all community members with children 12 years and younger to share their input by completing the online survey. Your feedback is essential to guide St. Catherine School in planning a daycare facility that meets local needs. The full interview with Mr. Lee is available below.

How to Participate
1. Visit the survey link: https://forms.office.com/r/ACemTnNXnC
2. Answer the questions about your family’s childcare needs, preferences, and
priorities.
3. Submit your responses by Monday, December 8th by 5:00 PM

The survey takes approximately 5 minutes, and all responses are confidential.

Why Your Feedback Matters Childcare is an essential service for families, and your input will help us:

Understand the current gaps in childcare availability.

Design a program that reflects the needs and values of our community.

Provide accessible and high-quality early childhood education.

“Our mission at St. Catherine School is to inspire excellence through faith, learning, and service,” said Nicholas Lee, Principal of St. Catherine School. “This survey is crucial in identifying how we can better support local families and children in their educational and developmental journeys.” As part of our 100+ year history
