Full Day
Our full-day child care program supports children from 2.9 months to 5 years old, providing a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment.
Group 1 (2.9 months – 3.5/4 years): This group focuses on creating a safe, loving space where your little ones can explore and grow at their own pace. Our caregivers foster early social, emotional, and cognitive development through responsive care, age-appropriate play, and hands-on learning experiences.
Group 2 (3.5/4 – 5 years): Our older children engage in a rich, stimulating curriculum that builds independence, curiosity, and foundational academic and social skills. Activities are designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and collaboration, preparing children for a confident transition to kindergarten.
Part Day
Our part-day program is designed for children 3 years and older who attend the Monticello Central School District. Children can join us before or after school and travel safely by bus to or from our center. We provide a welcoming environment where children can engage in enriching activities, socialize with peers, and continue learning in a fun, supportive setting outside of the school day.
Life Skills Practice
We are not just about school readiness; we also focus on life readiness. Daily routines inspire children to practice life skills like gardening and food preparation, table setting, dressing and cleaning. Building their confidence to take care of themselves and their environment with success.

“The exercises of Practical Life are formative activities, a work of adaptation to the environment. Such adaptation to the environment and efficient functioning therein is the very essence of a useful education.”
- Maria Montessori
