Reviews
St. John's Day Care is a wonderful place to bring your child. I have brought my son here since he was three years old and now he is in middle school. The head teachers have all been the foundation of the center for almost 20 years! Their knowledge of child development and thier kindness, caring and compassion make the program at St. John's the best in the area. There is a warm and homelike atmosphere that is truly comforting for the parents and children. The new director and her assistant work well together and complement the staff well. Overall, St. John's is a fantastic day care and I highly reccomend it to anyone.
