The purpose of Saint Francis Nursery School is to serve the child, the family, and the community. The school, through group experiences, prepares each child for entrance into the elementary school system. It encourages personal characteristics of independence, self-confidence, cooperation, obedience, self-control, and an appreciation of art, music and nature. The school provides a learning experience in an environment that teaches respect for each other.

The school is a private institution licensed by the Pennsylvania Board of Private Academic Schools. A Pennsylvania State Approved Nursery School Teacher and Teacher's Aide staff each class. Classes are limited in size and children will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.

The Saint Francis Nursery School, under the direction of Dianne F. Corvino, began its operation in 1990. The staff consists of two teachers and four teachers aides. The school offers a two-day and three-day program for three and four year old children and a three-day, four-day and five-day program for four and five year old children. The school also offers a Lunch Bunch program and an Extended Day program.
