Emerson sorted his dinosaurs by diet. Carnivore, herbivore and pescetarian. Next up: Triassic Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. He wasn't interested in shape, color or size sorting. "I did that when I was 3 1/2, Moooooom."

We highly recommend St. Francis Early Childhood Learning Center! The teachers, assistants, and office staff are all so kind and knowledgeable! They understand children and meet their educational, religious, and emotional needs. My daughter is currently in Mrs. Erin’s pre-K class and adores Mrs. Erin and Mrs. Maisry. She has grown so much over the past two years at St. Francis both academically and socially. The teaching of Christ’s kindness and love are embedded in the program, which we greatly appreciate. Our daughter loves coming home to tell us all the things she has learned and tells us how to be a good person. The Christmas Concert and Nativity was one of the most precious memories that we are so thankful for. Our older daughter went to the pre-K program as well and still remembers Mrs. Erin as one of her favorite teachers! During this crisis, Mrs. Erin has gone above and beyond to help continue education and most importantly reach out to connect with our daughter. The hangouts and phone calls have made a world of a difference for our daughter who is so saddened by not being at school with her teacher and friends. We are so grateful to St. Francis Early Childhood Learning Center for making the start of our daughter’s education so positive!

Emerson has always been - and hopefully will always be - a creative kid who knows exactly what he wants. Luckily, Mrs. Becky's lesson plans provide amazing opportunities for us to mold them to his needs and playful desires. The Google Hangouts with classmates and one-on-ones with Mrs. Becky ground Emerson with the perfect amount on social connection, just enough so he remembers school, but not so much that we feel pressure on our new "out school" schedule. 

The teachers and staff at St. Frances have been a blessing to our son's bright spirit. He will cherish his time there.

Thank you to Mrs. Campione & all teachers for going above and beyond during these unknown times! Mae & her sister Eleanor loved planting the tree delivered by Mrs. C for Earth Day & rooting the bean for science class to watch it grow!

Words can’t express how grateful we have been to the teachers at St. Francis. Their endless love and dedication to our children really shined through during such an emotionally exhausting time. Every Monday our daughter looked out the window so she could see her weekly packet getting delivered and get a warm smile from Mrs. Erin (as they both waved excitedly). Their Friday FaceTimes was something that our daughter looked forward to each week. Storytime was also one of our daughter's favorite things -not only did she get to see Mrs. Erin but all of her classmates who she missed so much. The bond between the children in the class and Mrs. Erin was evident through the smiles ear to ear from each child and the excitement in their voices when they were asked what they want to share with the class. I appreciated the values they continued to instill into our children as they discussed a book or talked about their week. As a parent, I am very happy to see my child excited to learn. I am thankful to them for the amount of support they have provided and for the smile they put on our daughters face daily. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our daughter to St. Francis!
