What makes your daycare different from others in the area?
We focus on creating a genuine family atmosphere where your child feels secure and valued. Our low child-to-caregiver ratios mean your child gets individual attention, not just supervision. We also maintain an open-door policy so you can visit anytime and see exactly how your child spends their day with us.
How do you ensure the safety and well-being of children?
Safety starts with our licensed facility that meets all New York State requirements. Every staff member passes background checks and maintains CPR and First Aid certifications. We have secure entry systems, child-proofed environments, and strict pickup procedures. Most importantly, we maintain constant supervision with age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged and safe.
What qualifications and experience do your staff members have?
Our caregivers have backgrounds in early childhood education and years of hands-on experience working with children. Each team member completes ongoing training in child development, safety protocols, and age-appropriate activities. We carefully select staff who genuinely love working with children and understand that your child’s development is our priority.
What is the ratio of caregivers to children in each age group?
We maintain small group sizes to ensure quality attention. For infants and toddlers, we keep ratios at 1:4 or better. Preschool age children have ratios of 1:8 or smaller. These lower ratios mean your child receives more individualized care, better supervision during activities, and stronger relationships with their caregivers throughout the day.
Do you offer flexible daycare hours for working parents?
Yes, we understand that work schedules don’t always fit standard daycare hours. We offer early drop-off and extended pickup times to accommodate your schedule. We also provide part-time and full-time options depending on your family’s needs. Our goal is to make quality childcare accessible for your work-life balance.
What types of educational activities are included in your program?
We provide age-appropriate activities that promote learning through play. This includes reading time, arts and crafts, music and movement, basic math and letter recognition, and outdoor play when weather permits. Our structured activities help prepare children for school while keeping them engaged and excited about learning new things every day.
How do you handle meals and snacks for the children?
We provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, following guidelines for healthy child nutrition. Our menu includes balanced options that most children enjoy, and we accommodate common food allergies and dietary restrictions. We also teach children about healthy eating habits and encourage them to try new foods in a positive environment.
