MADISON — For more than 30 years, St. Bernard Parish has been serving the east side of Madison, and surrounding community, through its preschool program.
In the past year, that dedication has grown to more opportunities to serve local youth.
Last fall, the parish expanded its preschool to a full child care program.
Starting this summer, school-age children can take advantage of a summer camp-style program.
Building enrollment
With area schools adding programs for children under five, “we had to think of different ways to build our enrollment,” said Geri Nehls, interim director of child care at the parish.
Through both lowering the age of children accepted to 2.5 years old, and responding to Pastor Fr. Michael Radowicz’s ,call for an all-day daycare program, the expanded opportunities were initiated.
“We looked into the Church’s teaching about equity and fairness and equality and how we outreach to the community,” said Nehls.

He said, “I remember sitting at a concert and watching a few students stand in the back row and sing nothing. I remember thinking, these kids are wasting their time, and what could we do to get their interest up.”
