I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son went there after 6 weeks because I had to go back to work and his father worked. I looked at a few daycare's lil sweethearts was one and I felt like it was the best choice. After going back to work and my son going there I asked around and some people I knew had sent their kids there and loved it. My son went there for about 3+ years until he went to Pre-k. He loved it there and I loved it there to Plus Brenda and Robin are great people.

Our Services

Newborn Care

We take great pride in providing a nurturing and delicate environment for the precious new member of your family. We currently provide care for children six-weeks and older.

Toddler Care

Often the most energetic of the bunch, we love watching your toddlers learn and discover new things while starting to develop their own little personalities. Toddlers benefit greatly from being around others their age and we help to foster these special times in their lives. 

Preschool Aged Care

While day care cannot fully replace preschool, we cater to those children who wish to wait to begin their school journey. During this time children are learning quickly and absorbing everything around them and we work closely to encourage this active learning behavior.

Before/After School Care

We know your work schedule often does not align perfectly with the school schedule, so we provide before/after school care for children attending Colonial Village Elementary School. Bus pick-up/drop-off can often be arranged with the school.

Fun-Loving Environment

Day care is more than just a safe environment for your child. We want them to have fun and look forward to coming back. We regularly do: crafts, outdoor play time, walks, baking day, water day, learning activities, seasonal treats, and continuously rotate the toys to keep children actively engaged and creative.

Covid-19

We understand this is a scary time for you and your family, so rest assured we are taking every precaution to keep your child safe. Our staff is fully vaccinated and we follow all guidelines from the CDC, New York Department of Health, and the New York Office of Children and Family Services with regular deep cleanings, continuous sanitations, and required temperature/health checks for both the children and staff.

 

This facility is authorized to administer medications; Care is available during non-traditional hours;
