St. Francis Episcopal Church

St. Francis Creche Preschool is such an amazing school - and more like a family and close knit community. The Teachers are incredibly loving, caring and super organized. The kids learn so much with all the fun curriculum the teachers have planned. My daughter has been here since 2 years old and loves it so much, it’s going to be hard when she graduates out of Creche. Thank you Creche!

My toddlers have been attending Creche since September 2022. I want to share with you my personal experience about this awesome place and people. My heart is melting when I see Creche’s Principal, Ms.Cristi, every morning welcoming each child. They literally jump when they see her. She knows all of them by names. She remembers their needs, she is constantly wondering about their progress and success, she personally has lessons with them. Kids love her, and trust her, and treat her as a friend. This philosophy was adopted by all of the teachers. Their approach is impressive, and the kids pay them back. Each child matters for them. Each child is peerless. They have discovered and developed the best in my Ukrainian kids who witnessed the war and were misplaced due to the war. This is what an exemplary daycare should be. We specifically love the daycare’s curriculum. The progress in my kids is obvious. They are super exiting about attending their classes, doing their projects, socializing with the classmates. My son has recently turned 4, however he can write simple worlds and read pretty long ones. He, a foreign National, was even able to memorize American Pledge of Allegiance - great job, Blue Class teachers - Ms.Leila and Ms.Betsy! My daughter, who is shortly turning 3, has strongly developed her speech. She speaks in sentences, and her vocabulary has become very impressive- great job, Rainbow and Green Classes teachers - Ms.Jen, Ms. Tamara, Ms. Kim, Ms. Joanna! The daycare definitely has whatever is necessary for development of all of the age groups present. All of the books, crafts and materials are provided, and we already have a wall full with my toddlers’ projects. The playground is very safe, and sibling of a different age have a chance to spend time together when outside. I also enjoy the way they celebrate the events. Each child is involved, each child is responsible for something. Specifically touching was Christmas celebration! Another wonderful thing is a class animal - kids alternate taking care of it and report in drawings and photographs to the class. A very good job was done by the photographers - good memories and individual approach to each child. One more thing that is super helpful is a drop off and pick up policy. The highest level of logistics ever, bravo! The daycare has early drop offs and late pick ups option, which is also very helpful. There is nothing I might be concerned or worried about, even though I am a very protective mother. I am passionate about Creche, because this facility and the Church saved my life as a refugee and a sole caregiver to two naughty toddlers. It has been a real, voluminous help in all of the meanings, and I survived here because of this daycare and the church. Our hearts belong to Creche, and I’m endlessly grateful for what they are doing to all of the kids and for the way they do it.

St. Francis Crèche has been such a wonderful place for our daughter. The director and teachers are incredibly loving, patient, and caring. As a parent, nothing means more than knowing your child is in a safe and nurturing environment, and that’s exactly how we feel every day when we drop her off. The best feeling is hearing her excitedly tell us how much she loves going to school and seeing how happy she is there. We are so grateful to have found such a warm and supportive place for our little one.

A very friendly and clean atmosphere for your kids. Everyone from the director, Cristi, to the teachers, to the PE coach, they've all been very kind towards my child. I appreciate them.

Crèche is an amazing preschool! The director and teachers are incredibly compassionate and truly meet each child where they are. They communicate very well with parents and are always happy to support any child-specific needs. We love the small class sizes, which allow for more individual attention. The kids get to play outside regularly and create a cute craft every day, which our child really enjoys. The school also hosts many family events, giving parents and classmates the chance to get to know each other and spend time playing together.
