The Facility
The Kennedy Day School is located on the campus of Franciscan Hospital for Children. A brand new building was completed in 2012 and is home to bright, spacious classrooms, therapy rooms and spaces for learning. Construction continues on the New Balance Foundation wing which is currently being renovated. This section of the school is scheduled to be complete in time for Fall 2012.

With more than 40 years of experience and a reputation for excellence and innovation, Kennedy Day School fosters the development of meaningful skills and positive self-concept in a caring and supportive learning environment.
