Lydia Street Waterbury, CT

Hello! I have been a stay-at-home mom who have provided care for many children throughout the years and have watched them all grow to become phenomenal individuals. I take great pride in knowing that I was a stepping stone in their early childhood years and I cherish all the beautiful memories created over the years. I decided to convert my home into a Family Daycare. Home daycare gives children the added security of being cared for in a home environment while still giving parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their children are under the supervision of licensed caregivers. If you reside in the Waterbury, Ct area or the surrounding area and are interested , come join us at Robyn's Romper Room Family Daycare! We are a small Family Daycare because I am able to give more "one-on-one attention than a big center. Our size allows us to know one another well. My daycare is filled with toys, games, art supplies, puzzles, musical instruments, and books to encourage their use of imagination. . Weekly themes will cover numbers, letters, shapes, colors and so much more! I also believe music, communication, and movement are very important parts of the healthy development of a child. Robyn's Romper Room of ABC's & 123's Family Daycare can provide breakfast/lunch and up to 2 nutritious snacks daily (based on hours of care provided) for all children eating solid foods if parents desire this. Children deserve a chance to learn and grow, better understand the world and each other, think, discover, dream, imagine, be prepared for pre-k/kindergarten all while reaching their highest potential. I encourage: creativity, individuality, curiosity, imaginative play, music appreciation, good social skills and love for reading! Romper Room of ABC's & 123's offers you high quality childcare at affordable prices. *WE HAVE FULL-TIME OPENINGS FOR THE SUMMER AND SCHOOL YEAR.** I have a licensed capacity of 6 children with (an additional 3 school-age children)-(during the school year only).
