Welcome Welcome to the Franciscan Child Day Care Center (FCDCC) web page.
A dedicated ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God, FCDCC has provided a child-centered environment for children for more than 20 years. The Center is a Keystone STARS facility. The FCDCC provides care and education to children ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years. We also provide before and after school services to kindergarten through 5th grade.
Purpose & Philosophy Your child’s early years are a magical time. We recognize this and encourage your child’s creativity and unique personality. Our philosophy is that we believe each child is a special individual with varying interests and abilities. Our programs foster your child’s creativity, self-image and continual growth and provide a variety of learning experiences that promote physical, intellectual, social and emotional development and are designed to help children develop to their fullest potential.
 We instill Christian and Franciscan values by encouraging children to be aware of the wonder and beauty of creation in which they are immersed, enabling them to grow in harmony with themselves, others and the world around them.
We see ourselves in partnership with parents and are supportive of and recognize the challenges you encounter in today’s world. We provide your child with a warm and nurturing environment – a home away from home – and keep you “in the loop” by sending notes home as well as meeting with you regularly.

Programs Infants This program provides care for children ages 6 weeks to 24 months. Through daily interactions with responsible, caring adults, babies experience positive relationships that develop trust and emotional security. Toddlers Toddlers develop self-confidence when they are free to explore, to master new skills and when they feel that caring adults encourage them and take pleasure in their interests and accomplishments. FCDCC is well-equipped with instructional materials that are designed to provide an ample variety of learning experiences geared to the developmental needs of toddlers. Pre-School FCDCC promotes a stimulating, challenging learning environment. The staff provides the children with an environment of consistency and a sense of security. Through the age and individually appropriate curriculum, our teachers give children daily opportunities to develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. Our goal is to meet the needs of the whole child. When these needs are met, children are successful in Kindergarten and successful in life. Before-and-After School Care
