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.
