St. Francis Day Care Center was established to provide for the working families of the community, a home away from home for parents who work or pursue education or other interests, to provide children with an atmosphere of continuous care and secure attached adult relationship from which to explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. To meet the needs of the community for a developmentally appropriate early childhood program. To provide families with the opportunity to interact with other parents and children in similar "working family" situations.To provide opportunities for the parents to understand child development thus helping parents with an understanding of their own child. We also provide family support services to families in need of assistance.
The center has been in operation since November 1990––under license number C-TA-13021. We are NAEYC accredited and Five Star provider.St. Francis serves children ages 6 weeks through 12 years old. St. Francis provides transportation to those children who attend Sulphur, Cleveland, Seminole, and Foster Elementary Schools. We will also accommodate after school children from other schools if parents provide transportation. St. Francis believes that home away from home should provide a warm, safe and secure environment where children can have positive, loving experiences designed to help them play, grow and learn. Other family support activities include; working on family goals, monthly parent meetings, computer access, and monthly family activities that all families can particiapte in. Parents as Partners in Literacy Program (PPL) is another program offered for families which allows for parents to spend quality time with their children that is both educational and fun. Through PPL families are able to check out books from the center library and children ages three and older take monlthy field trips to the local library. St. Francis also provides a Wellness Program where weekly educational newsletters are sent to parents to help educate and motivate them to eat healthy and stay active with their young children. Furthermore, children receive nutrition education that is interactive and teaches the skills they need to adopt healthy eating habits.
