In-Home daycare
Welcome to Kids Are People Inc, Group Family Child Care. We have a vital role in supporting and enhancing the value of children’s play. Our role as a caregiver is the same as that of a parent, children need to feel loved and protected in our care. We believe that boosting self-esteem and self-confidence in children is an important part of our daycare program. Your children are encouraged to express their feelings and learn to be self-disciplined and self-motivated. Providing a rich variety of materials will allow children the opportunity to explore and learn by their activities and experiences. They can have fun and enjoy socializing with others while learning. Children are, for the most part, independent and like to do things on their own. We believe that children thrive when they are able to experiment and test things out for themselves. They need to make mistakes and figure out conclusions on their own, or with assistance. We believe that a teacher’s role is to listen, observe and understand the strategy that children use in a learning situation. Children ages 16 months through 5 years are invited to the educationally progressive Kids Are People Inc., where they encounter opportunities to develop academic, motor and social skills. In the loving, safe, relaxed, and clean environment, the experienced staff provides children with the necessary tools, such as mixed age groups, individualized attention and hands-on activities to intensify and strengthen each child’s understanding of himself, others and their surroundings. At Kids are People Inc., the well-balanced schedule is flexible in order to make children not feel rushed, and is based on their needs. The curriculum developers based the programs on their knowledge of a child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth patterns. In conjunction with what is learned in the classroom, educators create and strengthen relationships with each student’s family to nurture the child’s sense of identity as well as integrating different, but equally important wisdoms. Each child keeps a journal to share daily activities, and monthly newsletters inform families about upcoming school activities and field trips. The school holds class Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm and extended hours available.

Care Member says "My daughter went to Kids Are People for almost 2 years. The staff are very kind and my daughter was very happy and engaged there. They have lots of...

About Our Daycare Welcome to Chinenye Daycare! At Chinenye Daycare, we pride ourselves in being very loving, kind, gentle, and understanding childcare professionals who are easy to talk to, intelligent, efficient, open to new ideas, and above all, strive to improve the current and future well-being of the children we care for. We have many educational resources, based on the age of the children. We offer story time, learning colors, numbers, shapes, alphabets, reading books to infants, and so much more. One of our primary objectives is to provide a nurturing, fun environment for the daycare children. To accomplish this, we have child-sized furniture, nap cots, toys, books, games, craft materials, puzzles, and outdoor play equipment which will help children remain stimulated while in our care. The children also have climbing and other equipment inside a fenced backyard, where they are always supervised by our staff. In addition, we have materials and tools for early learning such as those that help children learn the alphabet and how to count. Social skills are also an important aspect of our daycare program. A child needs to learn how to engage with other children as well as with adults, and we consistently provide these opportunities. An additional service we offer is picking up your older child from a nearby school and helping them with their homework while they are in our care. We have computers which are accessible to all the children in the daycare, especially the children in the “afterschool care” program. Because we believe consistency is key, we have created schedules for daily activities, meal times, diaper changing times, nap times and more. We have an open door policy, which means the parents can stop by without notification, and call or text anytime they want and we will respond. We strive to be your partner and always give our parents peace of mind. We are completely transparent in our program and curriculum. We make ourselves available to discuss any questions or concerns our parents may have. We continuously self-assess and look to improve and make communication with the parents a paramount part of the childcare environment. We are committed to giving your children quality care. We make sure that the children in our daycare, grow physically, socially, emotionally, academically and otherwise.

At Butler Nursery School, we believe that children thrive in an age appropriate program within a safe and nurturing environment. We offer a curriculum designed to foster their growth, stimulate their curiosity, and challenge their mental and physical needs. We encourage the development of socialization skills and the building of self-esteem, while respecting each child s uniqueness as an individual. The classrooms at Butler Nursery School are bright and cheerful. We have a large, muraled indoor playroom and a well-equipped outdoor playground. Play is an important aspect of child development. Through play, children explore the world around them by learning how to socialize with others, expressing feelings through language, testing muscular skills, and developing math concepts. We enrich this play through reading, music, art, cooking, and dramatic play. We offer half day programs to children age 2-4. Programs are offered 2, 3, and 5 days a week (days offered varies based on age). We do not require that a child be potty-trained before entering school. The school year runs from mid-September to early June, and a six-week summer camp is also available. Some daily activities include free play, music, snack time, playground time, painting, story time, dress-up, circle time, and water play. Throughout the year, Butler holds special events such as our International Dinner, Holiday Festival, Christmas Tableau, and Easter Chapel Services. Butler is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood in Northeast Yonkers. The Butler Nursery School is a program of St. John s Episcopal Church, Tuckahoe, and is founded on the highest Christian and educational standards. We share the teachings of Jesus Christ through stories, holiday observances, grace before snacks, and child-oriented chapel services. We are a proud member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools. We welcome families of all religious faiths to join us! We are pleased to boast a diverse student body.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Dobbs Ferry, NY

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Dobbs Ferry, NY. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift.

You can also check your options in Dobbs Ferry, NY for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Dobbs Ferry, NY, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Dobbs Ferry, NY.
