Hello my name is Andrea, I have been working with children since 2004 at child care centers and family day cares. I have recently opened my own day care at home. Welcome to Rays of Sunshine Day Care. We are licensed by NYOCFS. The staff and I are CPR and First Aid trained. Healthy meals are provided. Arts and crafts (age appropriate) are done by the children. We have a backyard for outside play, when weather permits and we are also fortunate to have a nice little park across the street. At Rays of Sunshine Day Care we emphasize on each individual child to meet their needs. We know every child is special and unique. We look forward to working with your child and you, the parent, to make this time (from infancy to toddler to pre-k) the most exciting time of their little lives. Having two children of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your child. I look forward to meeting you and your child. Thank you for your time.

Joyful Days Home Daycare

21 Villa Avenue Yonkers, NY

< 1 mi

As a former teacher, and then a nanny, I know what kind of care parents are looking for when searching for child care. If you are looking for all day care, I keep my ratios low so that your child will feel important and well-cared for. I have been designing my own pre-school curriculum filled with games, songs, theme-based activities, and other necessities for your child to be ready for Kindergarten. Warning: there will be messy fun! If you need after-school care, children will receive individualized tutoring if they need it, homework help, and plenty of options for learning and experimenting through projects, activities, and games. We do a lot of creative projects, holiday themed activities, and messy experiments. I serve breakfast before school, school drop off/pickups from the public school on Crescent Avenue, lunch, and a snack in the afternoon. If you are looking for a safe place for your child during the day, or for your child to spend time while waiting for you to finish work, please give me a call. Rates and hours are flexible depending on your needs. I look forward to hearing from you.

New Milford Early Leaning Center and Daycare is small and family oriented center. After much research, ELC has used Learning Without Tears and Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, a holistic, child-centered program that offers age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences for our students. Our goal is to guide children through play and experiences. Learning Without Tears and Handwriting Without Tears was designed with children in mind, The multi-sensory and developmental instruction is simple and highly effective for all children and teachers. The Pre-K program, Get Set for School, allows numbers and letter sounds to dance across our classroom. This curriculum makes sure all children have all the tools they need to express their thoughts, step by step, letter by letter. It helps our students find the heart of every letter and inspire a love of learning. We will observe our students to adapt our lesson plans to their needs and interests. Art, Science and STEM activities are included in our daily activities. We want all parents to be informed and aware of the activities within the classroom as well as how parents can reinforce these goals and objectives at home. All parents have the director cell number for questions, concerns, input, or just to check to how their child is doing. Our curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey Department of Education Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards. A unique humane education program is also built into our curriculum. The love, care and respect for all lives is taught on a daily basis. Our students are able to interact with pet therapy animals. Our furry and feathered friends include, Edna ( our diapered, imprinted, tame, loving duck), Mae (our giant, docile, tame, loving rabbit), Leo and Lily (our very friendly and attention seeking white doves) and others along the way. All our animals are fully vetted on a regular basis. The students and director started a non profit animal rescue, Fred and Friends, inc in 2011. Some of our ELC families have even helped with rescue! Fred and Friends had a unique rescued duck years ago that was friendly, loving and special needs. Beakers was hatched with a birth defect and was unable to walk. This did not stop his excitement to live Under Miss Christine’s supervision, and with the direction of a rescuer from the UK to guide us via FaceTime, the students built beakers a “duck wheel chair” so he was able to move around on his own. We all learned many important lessons from our feathered friend, Beakers. Miss Christine, grew up along the Mississippi River in Illinois. She brings country family traditions to the ELC like gardening and cooking. Going along with our humane education we have also collected for a local food pantry, started a have a heart program collecting supplies/food needed for local animal shelters, and adopted soldiers deployed sending art work, stamps, stationary, treats and other supplies. Early Learning Center is not the normal “cookie cutter center.” We learn real life skills that will stay with our students forever. We are a true family. Our loving infant/toddler head teacher has been with us since 2006. Early Learning Center is not the fanciest daycare/preschool you will find, but we challenge you to find a more loving, nurturing learning environment.
