Welcome To

St. Francis Day Care Center

St. Francis Day Care Center has been established for your child. A child is a gift from God to you and to the world. God loves your children; you love your children; we love your children.

Christ said, “Let the children come to Me for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Luke 18:16) To you we say with His words: Let the children come to us while you are working, and when your child returns to you, we hope he or she will be more loved, more loving, and happier every day.

We are a Roman Catholic institution owned and operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George.

At St. Francis Day Care Center, we believe every child is a precious gift from God. Since 1980, under the care of the Sisters of St. Francis of the
Martyr St. George, we have partnered with families to nurture each child’s faith, character, and love for learning.

Our dedicated staff and mission partners create a safe, joyful space where children grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, and academically—preparing them for a lifetime of love and service.
