Santilli’s Child Care & Preschool

Santilli’s Child Care & Preschool is a large family-owned program with three playgrounds and two classrooms. We offer a preschool program from August to May, a summer program from May to August, and our child care center is operational year-round.

Snacks and lunch are provided daily. The Center is open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. We are equipped with a shuttle bus for field trips to local attractions such as splash pad, river walk, museums, movies, library, and more.

Santilli’s is located on the corner of Del Rey and Cherry Street in a quiet but convenient location right across from Harrison Park where we make frequent visits. The family owns a vineyard and orchard next door to the Center which offers a unique experience in nature and gardening! This is where we “stompa” the grapes and “stuffa” the ravioli.

At Santilli’s, we strive to have fun and do our part to help prepare kids for the real world. The staff of the Center have over 60 years of combined child care experience and are exceptionally devoted, experienced, and skilled in the guidance and nurturing of children.

Owner and director, Denise Santilli has over 30 years of experience in working with families and children. Denise has a degree in social work, devoted 15 years to child welfare, and holds a certification as a Functional Family Therapist. Denise opened the Center in 2011.

Our family-owned and operated childcare center has an exceptional local reputation — so come be part of the family!
