History
For Pete's Sake Preschool opened its doors to its first young learners in 1983. At that time our name was St. Theresa's Day Nursery, and we were affiliated with St. Theresa's Church. While pastor of St. Theresa's, Father Edmond "Pete" Levesque was instrumental in establishing our early childhood center, along with Maureen "Honey" Weldon. In 1990, our name changed to For Pete's Sake to honor Fr."Pete." At that time Maureen Weldon and Maureen Gambardella joined in a partnership of the center. We are not affiliated with any religious denomination but continue to lease the school building from the parish. Maureen "Honey" Weldon passed away in 1999, and Monsignor Edmond "Pete" Levesque passed away in 2011. Both will always remain a strong presence of For Pete's Sake.
