A Century of Caring

History

St. Elizabeth's Day Home was established in downtown San Jose in 1907 by the Sisters of the Holy Family and was the first child care center of its kind in Silicon Valley. Today, St. Elizabeth's Day Home excels as a modern, non-denominational child development center that offers quality 'home away from home' childcare to more than 200 children with differing abilities from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.
