We are a small daycare, licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), located within SPORTIME Schenectady, a family-oriented tennis and sports club. Eager Explorers is designed to serve preschool age children - our focus is on, and our expertise is in, their age-appropriate play, learning, development and FUN. Our small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios allow for individual needs to be met within the classroom setting. We offer a diverse and comprehensive curriculum, based on best practices and focused on hands-on exploration. Our goal is to get your kids to love coming to “school”, and to be ready for their next steps in their educational journeys and as members of future school communities. Our commitment is to make Eager Explorers a home away from home for your children; a place where they can be free to explore, play and learn, with our guidance, in the ways that are best suited to them. Your children will be active participants in the daily operation of the classroom. In our caring community environment, students are encouraged to take leadership roles in their spaces. This creates a positive atmosphere and allows each child’s true potential to shine.

I am a stay at home mommy with a social butterfly of a 2 year old, who really wants more friends to play with every day! We live in a nice quiet area of Rotterdam, within walking distance of a park and only a short drive to the library! Our backyard is completely fenced and lots of toys to play on. Inside, we have stacks and stacks of children's books, puzzles, toys, and a playroom to store them all in! My daughter and I are all about the outdoor experience and healthy living. After a healthy breakfast in the morning, we are all about getting ready as fast as we can and sprinting out the backdoor to either play chalk, water fun, learn how to ride our toddler bike, dig in the dirt, or walk to the park! After we come in, we have some lunch, pass out for nap, and up and outside again we go! On rainy days, we love doing puzzles, building with blocks, learning to take care of our baby doll, having dance parties and even the occasional pajama party/movie day! I truly believe in a healthy lifestyle, and try to encourage it to all who is around me. Which means good quality food, choices, and especially a good quality nap! I have 10+ years of childcare experience. Besides having a daughter of my own, I've worked in daycare centers, nannied, and assisted in running two private home daycares. Caring for children comes naturally for me and there's nothing I love more than being able to stay at home with the kiddos!

Allison M. says "Excellent with kids and a lovely human being!"

Our Rotterdam Maple Leaf Location was opened in 2004 and is located on Hamburg Street in Rotterdam. Be careful not to pass our location by, as it is located in the same building as a The Bridge Church (no affiliation) and situated off the road to the back of the building. Minutes from the NYS Thruway, Interstate 90, and highway Route 890; it is an easy commute to Albany and many surrounding cities. Bradt Elementary School is located just behind us. Walking in through the secured double doors, you will experience a bright and welcoming environment. As children and families enter this center they admire the photos of the previous day's activities scrolling on a flat screen T.V. on the wall near the office. As you walk down the open hallways of the building you can look into the large panel windows and see what activities children are engaging in. Our seven classrooms are thoughtfully arranged to be developmentally appropriate for each age group, ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years. Maple Leaf has an open door policy at all of its centers; families are encouraged to come in and watch the magic of play!

My name is Ella and I am starting my own daycare because I genuinely love children and want to provide a safe, nurturing environment for them as I would want for my own, so that their parents can go to work comfortable in the fact that their most precious resources are happy and being well cared for. I have three children of my own, two boys aged 13 and 10 and a little girl whom is three. We are located in a quiet neighborhood. We have a large fenced back yard as well. We will offer healthy snacks and a lunch. We work on our shapes, colors, letters, numbers, nursery rhymes and I love weekly themes! We go outside everyday because I believe it is important. At the same time, I believe how the child is feeling dictates some activities. Ex... if he is not acting himself, maybe some quiet time on the couch is a better fit. I currently have two full time openings and/or several part time positions. I also offer before/after school care in the burnt hills district. Give me a call or text to discuss if we are the fit for you and your child. 518-410-3713 References are available.
