My Mommy's Childcare

18 Washington Place Patchogue, NY

< 1 mi

Hello Moms and Dads, My name is Suzanne B. and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a 45 year old Mom of 5 children (ages 20, 18, 9, 8 and 2 months). I have lots of experience caring for children. I am very familiar with the heartache of having to find the right childcare for your infant/child. I had to leave my two older kids when they were only 6 weeks old. I was fortunate enough to find a woman who not only watched my 2 girls 5 days a week from her home, but she became family...like a second Mom to them. I am here to offer that same kind of individual attention in a loving, nurturing environment for your infant/child. Giving you the peace of mind of knowing your -infant/child is being well-cared for while you head off to work. I keep a very clean home and is pet and smoke free. I am Infant CPR trained and certified. My hours are Mon through Fri and offer reasonable rates.

I am a stay at home mom with my son who is 6 months of age. I am looking to take in another child for daycare, day or night. I am a certified teacher, who decided to stay at home. I would love to take care of another child, infant or toddler. I love to do fun activities at home, take walks, go to parks and play! I have been fingerprinted and cleared by the state of New York. I also make all of my baby's food from home (Including juices, fruits, veggies and proteins), and would love to do that for your child too!

Hello, my name is Carissa. I am a 32 year old mother of a precious 3 year old little boy. My experience with children range from infant to 10 years of age. I know how difficult it is to leave your children with anyone, your own family included, so naturally leaving them with a complete stranger is nerve racking at best. I would like parents to know and feel comforted by the fact that I would care for their children as I expect others to care for my son. Being a mother, I know every concern a parent has for their child. It would be extremely rewarding to give parents out there some piece of mind while their children are with me. I am eager to watch 2 children in my East Patchogue home. My home is clean, safe, and fun!

Recently I became a stay at home mom and would like to offer child care for no more than two children in my home. I have nearly 16 years experience in child care. I worked as a nanny for my niece from October 1999 to September 2004, raising her until she was off to Kindergarten. After this experience, I worked at Kiddie Academy in Wading River from September 2004 to March 2015. My main responsibility was as a lead Pre-K teacher. Other responsibilities included opening the school, managing staff, caring for school age children and getting them on the bus. Since then, I have become a proud mother of a baby girl. I feel that the first five years of a child's life are so precious and with that i want to combine my two child care experiences. I plan to provide stimulating activities to nurture each stage of development and wish to inspire developmentally appropriate growth while in a warm and comforting home environment. If you share my vision of how a child might spend their first precious years, please contact me for further information. Thank you for listening.

Conveniently located in Centereach, It's About Time Children's Center is now enrolling for Summer and Fall! Please read our Facebook reviews and give us a call if you like what you see! Further reference available upon request. We here at It's About Time Children's Center hold the core beliefs that: - Activities for your children should be age-appropriate as children learn through play and exploration of the world. Teachers should know what is and is not age-appropriate through relevant training and education. We use Creative Curriculum in order to accomplish this goal. - A child's earliest experiences will guide them through the rest of their lives. As parents, we need to embrace these experiences and make them a positive learning opportunity. Activities should not be forced and outdoor exploration and play are essential. - The daycare experience fosters the relationship with the parent in addition to the child. Having your child get the most out of Daycare only truly works with a relationship; knowing what the child is doing at home - behaviors, emerging skills, life events - so they can be fostered at our center. We are a Daycare with Connection.

The Happy Days Program is based on the philosophy that most children can learn the skills necessary to succeed in school, that each child learns at his/her own rate and that success in learning will help to develop the child s self image. We at Happy Days Nursery feel that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. Preschool children are creative and receptive. We strive to nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend. Our curriculum includes sharing and conversation time; stories, songs, and finger plays; creative art activities and crafts; games and large muscle activities; food preparation; science and nature activities; introduction to many cultures; exposure to shapes, colors, numbers and letters; and the celebration of birthdays and holidays.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Patchogue, NY

Drop-in daycare near you in Patchogue, 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.

When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Patchogue, 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 Patchogue, 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.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Patchogue, NY, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
