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!
