The Children's Playhouse,inc.

We are an established New York State licensed Group Family Daycare. We provide a classroom atmosphere that encourages the freedom of learning through play for children of all ages...6 weeks-12 yrs.

Children have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of hands on activities while fostering their cognitive and social emotional development.

While providing a classroom atmosphere with a structured routine, we combine hands on experiences, art, music and movement, story time, language development, dramatic play, sensory experiences, cooking activities, large and small motor activities. Outdoor play is another important part of our program and we make it part of our everyday schedule.

All children are experimenters and investigators...that's how they develop and learn. We offer care for children of mixed ages.They are not separated by age for the whole day as is the case in other daycare settings. We believe this to be an advantage for the children in our setting as it allows the younger children to learn from the older children and the older children to learn the behaviors of younger children. For families with more than one child this also allows for siblings to be together rather than separated, especially while they are young infants, toddlers or preschoolers.

Our learning program is geared for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. We also accommodate after school children and special needs children which we blend into our program according to each individual's needs.
