Child Care
Our child care programs are fully licensed by West Virginia DHHR and meet or exceed all State and Diocesan program and safety requirements. Our staff members are CPR and First Aid trained and engage in ongoing professional development. Mrs. Erin Sikora, Principal, and Mrs. Maria Forrester, Assistant Principal, administer and oversee the programs. Mrs. Carey Downs is the After School Care supervisor, and the assistants are Michele Kimble, Gabe Zorio, Jane Burdette, Jackie Houston, Lisa Ramsey, Makayla Vance and Wilma Yost.
At St. Francis School we understand that families need a flexible child care program; therefore, families may use the programs on an as needed basis.
In the morning, Before School Care begins at 7:00am. When class begins, children are safely escorted to their classroom teacher.
After School Care for Traditional Preschool class begins at 11:30am. Children have time for play, crafts, center time, meal time, read aloud, and rest time. A nutrition lunch and afternoon snack are included.
After School Care for Collaborative Preschool classes and for grades K-6 begins at 2:30pm. Children have time for homework (as needed), crafts, games and play. A nutritious afternoon snack is included.
On Fridays when Collaborative Preschool classes are not in session, we offer Friday Daycare. Children spend the day engaged in center time, crafts, games, play, meal time and rest time. Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack are included.
We only charge families for the days children attend, and we prorate charges based on the time the child was signed in and signed out.
St. Francis accepts CONNECT and LINK.
