How can we help you?

I am interested in enrolling my child at ECDC.
Great!  Please call either ECDC site or email Kari Alford, Executive Director, at kalford@saintmarys.edu or Nikki Zavada, Enrollment Specialist, at nzavada@saintmarys.edu. It is helpful to include your child’s date of birth and whether or not you are affiliated with ND/SMC.

I am an ECDC parent with a question or need to report an absence.
Our program assistants will be happy to help you. Please call the ECDC site your child is enrolled at or email Maria Kil (ECDC-ND) at mkilecdc@gmail.com or Liz Betson (ECDC-SMC) at ebetson@saintmarys.edu. Tuition questions can be directed to our Finance Director, Michele Layher, at michele.layher@gmail.com.
