As a parent and a teacher of St Francis I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else, my children absolutely love the family relationship they have developed from every staff member at the daycare, and from a teacher aspect the staff are amazing. Always there for one another and work together tremendously ❤️

We loved St. Francis Daycare. My son was in rooms 4 and 5, which both rooms had wonderful staff. His language bloomed while there, as well as his ability to play independently and with others. My son is going to preschool in the fall, but we are very grateful for the wonderful experience he was able to have here.

We had a wonderful experience at St. Francis Daycare in Alton. Our infant son was in Room #3 with Missy, who has been such a kind, attentive, and nurturing caregiver. We always felt confident that he was in great hands and appreciated the communication and care he received each day. While we’re transitioning to a new daycare that’s closer to home, but we’re truly grateful for the love and support he received at St. Francis. Highly recommend for any family looking for a caring and professional daycare environment!

We are so thankful to have St Francis Daycare! My sister and I both went here 40ish years ago. We both have wonderful memories and experiences. Now both of our kids attend here and love that we have such a wonderful place that we trust and feel comfortable and safe with. I honestly don’t know that if St Francis wasn’t here that I would even trust anywhere else to take my daughter. The staff and sisters are wonderful! I wish they never had to leave! When I found out I was pregnant, I immediately applied at St Francis because there was no question that I was taking my daughter anywhere else and I knew there is always close to a year wait list.

We are so happy with our daycare center - St. Francis Day Care! The teachers and Sisters are so sweet and passionate about taking care of the children. The teachers keep us up to date on our daughters activities and development each day. You also get a daily report and sometimes with pictures. The caretakers are also the same people each day, with a regular group of flex-workers that our daughter knows well when the regulars are not there. The food is included in tuition, and she tries lots of different foods. We absolutely love this daycare center and recommend it for anyone looking for childcare!!
