Croton on Hudson Preschools

The care and attention that adults give to our children is essential in making them happy. In my home, I take pride in caring for every child each day by providing the proper attention, food and space they need for healthy development. We are a family daycare, and although most of our kids are after school kids, we have recently expanded our daycare to accept full-day care. We are a Licensed Family Daycare provider and our staff members have experience in education in care and teaching children.
About Kelly: I am mother of a family and I have four children, two teenagers, a preschooler and school age.

The Program:
Our curriculum is developmentally based, focusing on the individual child s social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
The program is geared toward helping children develop skills of observation and questioning that promote learning. We encourage children to be aware of their feelings, and to express those feelings appropriately. They learn to meet their own needs, as well as how to work cooperatively with others. Our children are treasured for their uniqueness and individuality. This open-minded program prepares children to utilize their intellectual and creative abilities for future learning tasks.
Our professional staff encourages exploration and growth in a well equipped environment that is stimulating, nurturing, and consistent. We strive to enhance each child s natural curiosity and love of learning. Our school provides opportunities for each child to master tasks appropriate to his or her level of development.
The children are introduced to a balanced program of interaction with friends in both teacher-directed and child-initiated experiences. The daily schedule includes free choice of time spent in the learning centers, as well as structured group experiences in creative movement, music, art, storytelling, and drama. There is an emphasis on the development of fine-motor and gross-motor skills through puzzles, blocks, bikes, and climbing equipment. Additional activities include trips, cooking, science, and computer time. Language skills are stressed throughout the program. We provide varied experiences that promote learning through play.
Our program is designed to develop an awareness of Jewish identity through Shabbat celebrations every Friday and special holiday activities throughout the year. We provide an introduction to Jewish ritual and tradition.
We are committed to working closely with parents. We believe that parents are experts at knowing their own children. Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time.

School Schedule and Extended Hours:
The program for 2-year old children is offered 3 days per week. The program for 3-year old children is offered 3, 4 or 5 days per week.

Montrose Child Care Center has been providing quality, early childhood care and education since our opening in March of 1990. We serve children from the ages of 6 weeks-5 years of age. We are located on the grounds of the VA Hospital in Montrose, which provides us with a safe and secure campus to call our own.

Our aim is to provide programs suitable for each child's stage of development. At Montrose Child Care Center, all of our lead teachers and assistant teachers are educated and experienced in early childhood. In addition, we conduct a full background check and drug screening prior to employment. We proudly maintain a low teacher to child ratio to ensure each child receives the attention and care needed to best develop individual learning abilities. Our 11 1/2 hour school day includes breakfast, lunch & afternoon snack, as well as our wide-ranging enrichment programs. All of our menu items are approved by a licensed NYS dietician.

We have proudly maintained NAEYC accreditation for the past 15 years (www.naeyc.org). This accreditation is voluntary and holds our center to a higher standard. NAEYC accreditation represents the earmark of quality when selecting the best possible early childhood experience.

At MCCC, we offer discounted tuition rates for employees of the VA, The State Nursing Home at Montrose & Entergy. In addition, we offer a second child discount. Unlike most centers, we do not charge a registration fee.
