Conveniently located in Centereach, It's About Time Children's Center is now enrolling for Summer and Fall! Please read our Facebook reviews and give us a call if you like what you see! Further reference available upon request. We here at It's About Time Children's Center hold the core beliefs that: - Activities for your children should be age-appropriate as children learn through play and exploration of the world. Teachers should know what is and is not age-appropriate through relevant training and education. We use Creative Curriculum in order to accomplish this goal. - A child's earliest experiences will guide them through the rest of their lives. As parents, we need to embrace these experiences and make them a positive learning opportunity. Activities should not be forced and outdoor exploration and play are essential. - The daycare experience fosters the relationship with the parent in addition to the child. Having your child get the most out of Daycare only truly works with a relationship; knowing what the child is doing at home - behaviors, emerging skills, life events - so they can be fostered at our center. We are a Daycare with Connection.

The Happy Days Program is based on the philosophy that most children can learn the skills necessary to succeed in school, that each child learns at his/her own rate and that success in learning will help to develop the child s self image. We at Happy Days Nursery feel that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. Preschool children are creative and receptive. We strive to nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend. Our curriculum includes sharing and conversation time; stories, songs, and finger plays; creative art activities and crafts; games and large muscle activities; food preparation; science and nature activities; introduction to many cultures; exposure to shapes, colors, numbers and letters; and the celebration of birthdays and holidays.

Deanna says "My entire family had gone to Happy Days. From the original location in Patchogue where my now 30-something year old cousins went, my brother and I went and...

Child care
At Summerfield Child Care Center it is our mission to provide a creative, nurturing and stimulating atmosphere in which children are active participants. We offer an environment where children feel free to explore their uniqueness while learning through play in a multi-sensory way. Our talented, energetic, and professional staff work together to positively impact the quality of life of the families in our community. We believe education is based on beliefs about human development and human relationships. At the core is respect; for each person, for all life, and for their environment. Respect for each child s uniqueness leads to trust, essential for learning and growth. Each human is a uniquely endowed individual having a whole life in a whole learning environment. Teaching and learning are inseparable. Learning and growth are what happens when people work and play together. Learning about oneself is part of learning about others, not about winning or competition. Therefore, your child will not necessarily be bringing home a project each day. His or her entire day is a learning experience, whether it is on the playground or eating lunch. The process of learning is more important than the product. Children need ample time and space to explore and work at their own pace and learning style. Classroom experiences are designed to encourage involvement and risk taking using multi-sensory materials. As children make appropriate choices and are involved in their work they acquire a positive attitude toward learning. Learning is great fun!
