Hello, I am Lucia Pepitone, owner/provider of Lucia's Daycare. I am a Montessori trained teacher and together with my staff we have been providing excellent care for infants and toddlers since 2008. We follow Maria Montessori's teaching philosophy. She believed that young children posses an absorbent mind that benefits from a prepared environment. By allowing the child the work independently he develops control and concentration to be able to complete a task from beginning to end. By having a mixed age group children benefit from the older children setting an example for the younger ones around them. We offer circle time, story time, arts and crafts, age appropriate activities, early math concepts and beginning sound recognition. Children are encouraged to practice grace and courtesy at all times. We have a large fenced in yard with lots of ride on toys. Nutritious meals and snacks are included. We are licensed by N.Y.S. Office of Children and Family Services, we are insured and have a tax ID#. We are CPR,First Aid certified. At Lucia's Daycare there is a wonderful sense of community since must of our clients come from referrals Referrals are one of the biggest compliments we can receive. As a special thank you we offer families a free day of care for each referral that enrolls with us. We also offer 10% sibling discount. Call today to ask about our early registration discount. It ends 6/1/2019. Hope to hear from you soon.

After 3 yrs I decided to open my own daycare and told myself I would always treat the children like my own. Threw the years my daughter has grown up with daycare children that have become like part of our family. I have many children that have moved or are in HS and still come back and visit. It makes me so happy to know I have made a lasting impression on their lives as they have mine. Sharon G.,Business Owner
