We are an enthusiastic team dedicated to guide them with fun activities as they learn about the world around them. Our location has been renovated into a child safe, hazard free zone with 24-hour surveillance, where I follow all of NYS Child day care provisions. A schedule of balanced playtime, indoor/outdoor learning activities (weather permitting) and mealtimes. We have a history of Volunteering on weekends with Autistic children, where we would do Art and Music Therapy with them while their parents had a Saturday morning and afternoon off. We are open Monday thru Friday and from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with flexible early drop off and late pick ups when necessary. The rate-list is broken down by the amount of days a week and amount of daily hours needed by the parent. (Average tuition rates vary beginning as low as $1000/mo up to $1400/mo depending on schedule needed.)

Hello, my name is Angelina Cintron and I operate a homemade Childcare Center in the local Astoria area in area code 11106. The Early Scholars Education Program operates on the notion that children grow and learn most efficiency with consistent hands on exploration and experiences. This program promotes young children to make their own decisions and seek discoveries from a nurturing and positively stimulating atmosphere. While cultivating each child's unique personality, I also strive and take pride in preparing and guiding their social growth based on an invigorating group setting. Children are also prepared for early academics as they grow towards their school aged years. Recognizing that no two children are on the same developmental path, this program adjusts purposeful education that incorporates flexible learning and care to foster each child's individual needs and interests. More than just a daycare, I offer young children the opportunity to become a part of a loving, healthy, and safe community to help them flourish and reach their true potential. This program provides care for ages 6 weeks to 5 years old and school aged during Summer and days schools are closed.

About Our Daycare Welcome to Chinenye Daycare! At Chinenye Daycare, we pride ourselves in being very loving, kind, gentle, and understanding childcare professionals who are easy to talk to, intelligent, efficient, open to new ideas, and above all, strive to improve the current and future well-being of the children we care for. We have many educational resources, based on the age of the children. We offer story time, learning colors, numbers, shapes, alphabets, reading books to infants, and so much more. One of our primary objectives is to provide a nurturing, fun environment for the daycare children. To accomplish this, we have child-sized furniture, nap cots, toys, books, games, craft materials, puzzles, and outdoor play equipment which will help children remain stimulated while in our care. The children also have climbing and other equipment inside a fenced backyard, where they are always supervised by our staff. In addition, we have materials and tools for early learning such as those that help children learn the alphabet and how to count. Social skills are also an important aspect of our daycare program. A child needs to learn how to engage with other children as well as with adults, and we consistently provide these opportunities. An additional service we offer is picking up your older child from a nearby school and helping them with their homework while they are in our care. We have computers which are accessible to all the children in the daycare, especially the children in the “afterschool care” program. Because we believe consistency is key, we have created schedules for daily activities, meal times, diaper changing times, nap times and more. We have an open door policy, which means the parents can stop by without notification, and call or text anytime they want and we will respond. We strive to be your partner and always give our parents peace of mind. We are completely transparent in our program and curriculum. We make ourselves available to discuss any questions or concerns our parents may have. We continuously self-assess and look to improve and make communication with the parents a paramount part of the childcare environment. We are committed to giving your children quality care. We make sure that the children in our daycare, grow physically, socially, emotionally, academically and otherwise.
