St. Elizabeth’s School and Child Care started in the summer of 1927 as part of the educational program of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church at 99 Broadway, Jersey City. Since then, the Franciscan Sisters of Saint Elizabeth have been meeting the needs of parents. Children come to St. Elizabeth’s School and Child Care from all parts of the world, sometimes referred to as the “little global village.” The Center provides a safe and affordable child care.

In 1954, due to the increase in the number of children, the school moved to 129 Garrison Avenue, then in 1990, the facility at 106 Romaine Avenue was built. Both locations are convenient for the working parents because of the proximity to Journal Square. In 2010, four additional classrooms were built.
