Hi, my name is Colleen. I have been living in Port Jefferson Station for 7 years. I love children and have two of my own. When my daughter was younger I needed childcare so I could work and was fortunate to find a wonderful Family Day Care for her. I know first hand how important it is to find a trustworthy, loving, nurturing, dependable caregiver. I am currently in the process of opening a Family Day Care of my own. I am a good standing member of the Child Care Council of Suffolk County and would love the opportunity to be that special person in your precious little ones life. I currently have an opening for one child under the age of two and one opening for the age of 2 and above. I am available from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. I follow a daily schedule which includes learning at appropriate age levels. I provide morning and afternoon snack, computer time, outdoor play, as well as, arts and crafts. If interested in joining our family please contact me for further details. I enjoy, baking cookies, playing Wii, playing soccer, being outdoors, and making arts and crafts.

Happy Days Nursery

744 Old Medford Avenue Medford, NY

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.

Deanna says "My entire family had gone to Happy Days. From the original location in Patchogue where my now 30-something year old cousins went, my brother and I went and...

Child care
At Summerfield Child Care Center it is our mission to provide a creative, nurturing and stimulating atmosphere in which children are active participants. We offer an environment where children feel free to explore their uniqueness while learning through play in a multi-sensory way. Our talented, energetic, and professional staff work together to positively impact the quality of life of the families in our community. We believe education is based on beliefs about human development and human relationships. At the core is respect; for each person, for all life, and for their environment. Respect for each child s uniqueness leads to trust, essential for learning and growth. Each human is a uniquely endowed individual having a whole life in a whole learning environment. Teaching and learning are inseparable. Learning and growth are what happens when people work and play together. Learning about oneself is part of learning about others, not about winning or competition. Therefore, your child will not necessarily be bringing home a project each day. His or her entire day is a learning experience, whether it is on the playground or eating lunch. The process of learning is more important than the product. Children need ample time and space to explore and work at their own pace and learning style. Classroom experiences are designed to encourage involvement and risk taking using multi-sensory materials. As children make appropriate choices and are involved in their work they acquire a positive attitude toward learning. Learning is great fun!
