I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Blooming Buddies is a financially savvy choice for childcare in the Poughkeepsie area. Her in-home care provides an intimate environment for all the children she watches. My son is started there at three months and he has been able to learn so much from the older children, but they also learn how to act and care for a little one. The number of children there is low, so they all get along well and the families get to know each other. It's a near perfect option if you can't stay at home with your children.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

A wonderfully nurturing, personal and engaged day care. Alison Urgarte (know as Miss Ali to the kids) is a consummate professional, adhering to all state mandated standards while also creating a very "at home" environment for all the kids. Learning through play, games, crafts, and fun. And she even cooks home made meals! Our three year old daughter has been there a year and is thriving!

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
