Sharing joy that goes beyond generations

The Franciscan Villa Child Day Care Center

Child care has been an integral part of Franciscan Villa for over 25 years. Certified by YoungStar, the Franciscan Villa Child Day Care Center provides exceptional care for kids from 6 weeks through 12 years old. We offer both before and after school care with transportation to South Milwaukee Schools. Our emphasis on intergenerational programming makes our day care a perfect fit on the campus. We encourage children to interact with our older adults—and both benefit from the friendships forged. Besides social interaction, we offer age-appropriate curriculums, hands-on activities, family get-togethers, parent/teacher conferences, and nutritious meals and snacks. To learn more about the day care, contact Judy Grabczyk at (414) 570-5410..
