I offer childcare in my Ossining home. I am a mom of three children, and I was one of 12 children in a large Irish family. The environment my home provides is safe and loving. I have spots available right now. I can offer any kind of childcare full-time or part-time, before school or after school. I can also drop off to camp and pick up when camp ends. I have references from multiple families. If interested, send me an email.

Day Care
Lightbridge Academy offers a comprehensive early childhood education program that focuses on the holistic development of children. Lightbridge Academy is a company of high integrity founded on a set of core values, which are the guiding principles for how we lead our center. These values help to create the “high care” culture that is developed within our childcare center. We are the solution for working families. Our center hours are 6:30 a.m.- 6:30 p.m., and you can utilize that time as you please. We are right off the Sawmill River Parkway and located in a building complex. Our curriculum is the Seedling Early Childhood Education. The curriculum is designed for infants, toddlers, and preschool children to achieve key developmental milestones through a detailed scope and sequence for each age group. The curriculum includes enrichment programs for reading/writing, music, Spanish, and American Sign Language. Our toddler curriculum addresses the toddlers' rapid growth and development by catering to their readiness cues, with the older toddler curriculum focused on preparing for preschool and beyond. We can encourage them to move to the next challenge when they display interest or signs of emerging skills.

Child care
At Discovery Village classic and contemporary research and experience on early childhood learning and care come alive, translated into our playful approach. We are a high quality daycare and preschool, serving children from 6 weeks to five years old. Discovery Village is unique. With guidance from their teachers, children at Discovery Village learn by doing - transforming their classrooms into places in a village. Possibilities are endless! Classrooms can be designed as homes, restaurants, science labs, zoos, rocket ships, and more; anything our children are interested in. Teachers take the lead with the infants, designing the classrooms as nurturing, caring places such as homes or gardens. As children's interests develop they are able to make more and more choices about the design of their own places, stemming from their own curiosity and creativity. Learning in all subject areas at Discovery Village is carefully integrated into the experience of designing and living in our village places. This includes age-appropriate learning in the areas of speaking and listening, reading and writing, math and science, social studies and cultural studies, the arts and physical education, and social-emotional as well as character skill building. Our playful approach is grounded in experiential and project-based learning theory and research. It is a unique adaptation of &quot;Reggio-inspired&quot; learning, an educational philosophy emphasizing experiential learning, emerging from student interest, in a relationship-driven environment. In addition to our integrated learning, we place strong emphasis on social emotional learning. We are open Monday-Friday from 7 AM to 6 PM, and serve children from 6 weeks to 5 years. Nutritious meals and snacks, cooked on-site, are included in the cost of tuition. Discovery Village is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.
