On November 1, 2022, Elizabeth Seton Center officially took over the former Franciscan Child Day Care Center space in Whitehall and is preparing to open a new child care center by January 4, 2023 - the feast day of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

“As the Franciscan Child Day Care Center’s journey concludes, Elizabeth Seton Center brings light and hope for the future,” said Sister Janet Gardner, Franciscan Child Day Care Board President.  “We are grateful that the space will continue to serve as a child care center run by those with similar values and decades of experience providing nurturing and quality care.”

The Franciscan Child Day Care Center, a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God, closed in September 2022 after 40 years of providing child care services that included programs for infants and toddlers, as well as a pre-school program, before and after school care and a summer camp.  As Seton Center makes final preparations, the space is ready to serve as a fully functioning child care facility, including a secure outdoor playground.  Caregivers and families at the new Center will include some from the former Franciscan Child Day Care, which also donated most of their furniture, toys and supplies. 

Sr. Barbara Ann Boss, President & CEO of Elizabeth Seton Center, expressed gratitude and said, “We look forward to expanding our services to additional young learners in the South Hills and continuing the quality care that the Franciscans have provided here for the past 40 years.”

Founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1985, Elizabeth Seton Center’s mission is to provide intergenerational lifelong learning to persons of all ages and backgrounds in the tradition of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.  Presently, the nonprofit serves children, seniors and families at their facilities in Brookline, Overbrook and Greensburg, PA.  Seton Center’s Child Care Center in Brookline has been serving families for more than 35 years and maintains the highest-level STAR Four designation in the Keystone Stars Child Care Quality Initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare.
