Yesterday we had the honor to attend the groundbreaking of the St. Augustine Preparatory Academy (Aug Prep) North Campus. We’re extremely excited to welcome our new neighbors and look forward to seeing them soar at their second location. #SFCC #Coming2026 #Community

About us
At St. Francis Children's Center, our mission is to serve and educate children with special needs in inclusive environments, enabling them to reach their greatest potential. SFCC provides education, therapy and family support to over 1200 children and their families annually from the Milwaukee area. Our four main programs are: Early Intervention/Birth to Three: provides special education, therapy and support services to children under three who have a developmental delay or disability. Contracted through Milwaukee County DHHS. Children's Long-Term Support (CLTS): provides support and service coordination in the home for children, up to age 22, with autism or other severe long-term impairments. Early Childhood Education: provides individualized care and education for infants through 5-year-old kindergarten. Classrooms are fully-inclusive, to allow typically developing children and children with special needs the opportunity to grow, learn and play together. Family Activity Center: a free program, open to the community, where parents and caregivers can bond with their children with special needs as they explore new activities together in a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment. At the same time, adults can share experiences, ask questions, and connect with resources to assist their families. Our Center-based programming also features an onsite child psychologist, who provides consultations to our teaching staff to assist them in working with children with special needs.

Today, September 5th, 2024, is the International Day of Charity—a powerful reminder of how we can each be a beacon of hope and change. At St. Francis Children’s Center, we are dedicated to supporting children with special needs, helping them to learn, grow, and thrive. This day holds a special place in our hearts as we reflect on the incredible impact that generosity can have. If you’re considering making a donation, we hope you’ll think of us and the children we serve. Every gift, big or small, helps us provide the care and education that these remarkable kids deserve. Of course, if there’s another charity close to your heart, we encourage you to support them as well. Let’s embrace this day with compassion and a commitment to making a difference. Together, we can build a world where every child has the chance to shine. Give on our website at: sfcckids.org
