Conveniently located in Centereach, It's About Time Children's Center is now enrolling for Summer and Fall! Please read our Facebook reviews and give us a call if you like what you see! Further reference available upon request. We here at It's About Time Children's Center hold the core beliefs that: - Activities for your children should be age-appropriate as children learn through play and exploration of the world. Teachers should know what is and is not age-appropriate through relevant training and education. We use Creative Curriculum in order to accomplish this goal. - A child's earliest experiences will guide them through the rest of their lives. As parents, we need to embrace these experiences and make them a positive learning opportunity. Activities should not be forced and outdoor exploration and play are essential. - The daycare experience fosters the relationship with the parent in addition to the child. Having your child get the most out of Daycare only truly works with a relationship; knowing what the child is doing at home - behaviors, emerging skills, life events - so they can be fostered at our center. We are a Daycare with Connection.

11 Island Bay Ave Middle Island, NY

Recently I became a stay at home mom and would like to offer child care for no more than two children in my home. I have nearly 16 years experience in child care. I worked as a nanny for my niece from October 1999 to September 2004, raising her until she was off to Kindergarten. After this experience, I worked at Kiddie Academy in Wading River from September 2004 to March 2015. My main responsibility was as a lead Pre-K teacher. Other responsibilities included opening the school, managing staff, caring for school age children and getting them on the bus. Since then, I have become a proud mother of a baby girl. I feel that the first five years of a child's life are so precious and with that i want to combine my two child care experiences. I plan to provide stimulating activities to nurture each stage of development and wish to inspire developmentally appropriate growth while in a warm and comforting home environment. If you share my vision of how a child might spend their first precious years, please contact me for further information. Thank you for listening.

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind.
