Our child day care is an integral part of Franciscan Villa — and has been for more than 25 years. The day care is a Young Star Four Star Center.
Our emphasis on intergenerational programming makes our day care a perfect fit on the campus.
We encourage children to interact with our older adults — and both populations benefit from the friendships forged.
Besides social interaction, we offer age-appropriate curriculums, hands-on activities, family get-togethers, parent/teacher conferences and nutritious meals and snacks.
We have two infant rooms, a one-year old room, a two-year old room, a three-year old room and a school-aged room. A breastfeeding room is availble for parents and staff.
Our child day care accepts children from six weeks to eleven years old from the community and our campus employees.
Hours are 6:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday - Friday.
