At Childtime, your child gets what he or she needs to develop their best mind, their love of learning, their personality, their bright future. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, central to our educational philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning. Staff and teachers, and the relationships children develop with them, are vital for learning, for trust, and for independence. Our approach is designed to help them grow as students and people, in school, and in life beyond.

2739 Hamburg St SCHENECTADY, NY

Our Rotterdam Maple Leaf Location was opened in 2004 and is located on Hamburg Street in Rotterdam. Be careful not to pass our location by, as it is located in the same building as a The Bridge Church (no affiliation) and situated off the road to the back of the building. Minutes from the NYS Thruway, Interstate 90, and highway Route 890; it is an easy commute to Albany and many surrounding cities. Bradt Elementary School is located just behind us. Walking in through the secured double doors, you will experience a bright and welcoming environment. As children and families enter this center they admire the photos of the previous day's activities scrolling on a flat screen T.V. on the wall near the office. As you walk down the open hallways of the building you can look into the large panel windows and see what activities children are engaging in. Our seven classrooms are thoughtfully arranged to be developmentally appropriate for each age group, ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years. Maple Leaf has an open door policy at all of its centers; families are encouraged to come in and watch the magic of play!

Ella's Care

8 Jane Dr Schenectady, NY

My name is Ella and I am starting my own daycare because I genuinely love children and want to provide a safe, nurturing environment for them as I would want for my own, so that their parents can go to work comfortable in the fact that their most precious resources are happy and being well cared for. I have three children of my own, two boys aged 13 and 10 and a little girl whom is three. We are located in a quiet neighborhood. We have a large fenced back yard as well. We will offer healthy snacks and a lunch. We work on our shapes, colors, letters, numbers, nursery rhymes and I love weekly themes! We go outside everyday because I believe it is important. At the same time, I believe how the child is feeling dictates some activities. Ex... if he is not acting himself, maybe some quiet time on the couch is a better fit. I currently have two full time openings and/or several part time positions. I also offer before/after school care in the burnt hills district. Give me a call or text to discuss if we are the fit for you and your child. 518-410-3713 References are available.
