*Highest Recommendation*  My two children have been in the care of St. Anthony of Padua Study Hall for over two years – since they were five and six years-old.  We are so fortunate to have found St. Anthony’s!  I could not ask for more out of a day-care/after-care/camp for my children.  Above all, they are cared for by loving, attentive staff.  The staff actively works and plays with the children – they are not just “watching” them.  The staff members seem to love their jobs.  When I get to pick them up, I see the children playing in groups with a staff member, and both the staff member and children are having fun!  My kids look forward to going there.  Having St. Anthony’s to rely upon during my long workday; working a job which requires complete focus, puts my mind at ease allowing me to accomplish what needs to be done.  Thanks to St. Anthony of Padua and Mr. Frank Cacace who make the childcare so wonderful!

Staff is wonderful.  My son is always happy there.  I transferred him half way through the school year because they covered half school days.  Wasn't sure how he was going to react since he tends to be a nervous kid.  The best decision I could have made.  I highly recommend St. Anthony's Study Hall.
