Hi my name is Victoria! I run an at home daycare. I consider myself to be so lucky to be able to work with children doing what I love everyday! I have a very fun interactive learning environment. I am not strict or mean but I do make sure that everyone is safe and has fun while learning. Everyday we go over the day of the week, the weather, our letter of the week, and our numbers. We have a lot of play time, with coloring, toys, blocks, and age specific activities. When the weather is good we have tons of outside time. We do not watch TV. Once a week we have a movie afternoon. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up an appointment to meet. Thanks, Vicki! *FYI there is a dog in the house so if there are allergies I just wanted to give you a heads up!

Catbells is a flexible program, focused on creating a nurturing environment that will enrich the lives of young children. Owned and operated by Diana Theriault, it is fully licensed as a home daycare. Diana began working with children when her daughter was about a year old. She started as a teaching assistant in the Step By Step (two's transition) program at Xanadu Family Center. After a short time, she began designing her own curriculum for a program called Play To Learn. Upon Xanadu's closing, Diana designed and taught a private class to several children from the Xanadu program. When her son was born, she began teaching a baby class geared toward offering developmentally appropriate activities to children under a year, while helping mothers to connect with other mothers. Diana has worked as a nanny to a family in Cheshire with three children, and has designed and taught after school art classes at Bear Path Elementary.

Welcome to Play to Learn Childcare! Hi! Thank you for your interest in our childcare center. Whether you are changing childcare or starting childcare for the first time, I understand that it can be overwhelming for both the parents and children involved. Looking for childcare that meets your child's needs and at the same time finding a provider that you feel you can trust with your child can be nerve-racking. I feel it is very important for the parents and the provider to have a very open and friendly relationship to best meet the needs of the children. At Play to Learn Childcare, the team believes that every child is unique. Each child should receive the opportunity to develop social and emotional skills that will help them grow. Our nurturing childcare environment provides each child with the one-on-one attention that will help them to learn important life skills such as respecting others, sharing, polite manners, following instructions, responsibility, emotional control, and problem management. We use an emergent curriculum to educate the children on key learning concepts including colors, counting/math skills, and early literacy. A bonus is a vocabulary in English and Spanish! We allow children to learn through play and guide them to understand these concepts.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Northford, CT

Drop-in daycare near you in Northford, CT 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 Northford, CT, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Northford, CT 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 Northford, CT, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
