Description: Pine Tree Day Nursery prides itself on having a loving, secure home like environment for children 6 weeks to 5 years of age. Every child's overall wellbeing is our main priority. This is why we choose to follow a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Not to mention, our facility is inspected and relicensed by the fire department, health department and New York state department at a minimum of once every two years, all of our staff are educated in early childhood and utilize a continuing education program through the New York state office of children and family services. Every staff member is certified in infant through adult CPR and First Aid. As an added bonus we also provide nutritionally balanced meals and snacks prepared by staff members certified in food handling by the Suffolk county department of health. We at Pine Tree feel that our combination of educated staff and attention to detail help us to stand out as a leader in the field of child care.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
