Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

Working parents can breath easier knowing their children are in a safe, educational &amp; enriching environment. At Reach For The STARS Family Day Care children will learn &amp; enhance the following skills: Sensory Recognition of sounds, textures &amp; visual images. Fine Motor Hand-eye coordination, drawing &amp; writing. Language Listening &amp; comprehension, speech, reading &amp; writing. Creativity Imagination, ingenuity, music, art, drama, self-expression. Gross Motor Balance, exercise, movement coordination and control. Social &amp; Emotional Sharing &amp; cooperating, relationship skills, self-esteem. Thinking &amp; Problem Solving Concept Formation &amp; comprehension, logic &amp; reasoning skills, cause-&amp;-effect. And so much more... Why choose Reach For The STARS as your day care provider? Location: Family Day Care takes place in the loving and caring environment of a home. The site will provide a warm, cozy, comfortable feeling for your child. In a residential area, your child will not be subjected to the noise and traffic of a commercial strip. In addition, the ratio of care is much smaller in a family day care. Therefore, your child is more likely to get more individualized attention. The facility is located close enough to the Belt Parkways, Q11 Bus and the A Train to make traveling convenient. Licensing: Reach For The STARS! is a full licensed Group Family Day Care Center, licensed through the NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene. As a result, routine site visits are conducted to insure that we are in compliance and the facility is a safe place for children. Also, fingerprinting of each employee and a background check is done. Experience and Training: As well as having vast experience in child care, from their own children and from working in child care situations, our staff participates in educational, health and safety trainings on an ongoing basis. The staff is also CPR certified. Tracking of Development and Growth: Parents are kept informed about their children s progress and problems. Each day your child goes home with a Daily Report Card . This lets parents know what their child had done throughout the day, what they learned, what they ate, when they slept and other comments. Also, at the end of the week, parents are given a summery of the past week s lesson plan and suggested weekend activities to re-enforce what the children have worked on. In addition, parents are welcomed to discuss policies and operations of the center.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Franklin Square, NY

Drop-in daycare near you in Franklin Square, NY can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Franklin Square, NY, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Franklin Square, NY may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Franklin Square, NY, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience. Remember to bring any blankets or stuffed animals that may serve as a comfort item -- this may even include pacifiers or sippy cups if necessary.
