About
Precious Kids Country Learning and Development Day Care Center offers a program where child-initiated and teacher-supported play is an essential component of the daily experience. The program uses activities that take into account children’s abilities and interests, with learning taking place through manipulating materials and interacting with others.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Schedule: Open with scheduled early closings and holiday closures throughout 2025, including adjusted hours on May 23, June 13, December 24, 29, 30, and 31, and full-day closures on Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Staff Day (August 29), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving (November 27–28), Christmas Day, December 26, and New Year’s Day 2026
• Price: Competitive pricing, with sibling discounts available, and a previously offered special of 50% off the first week’s tuition with a 90-day commitment (now expired)
Founded in 1999, Precious Kids Country Learning and Development Day Care Center has been caring for children and their needs for over 20 years and has been nurturing the children of its community since 1999. The facility is locally and family-owned, with very low staff turnover, and the director has been with the company for 20 years. All staff is CPR and first aid certified, and teachers are New York State certified and trained in CPR, ADE, and first aid. Classrooms are divided into age groups, and children advance according to their chronological and developmental levels.
The program’s stated mission is to offer developmentally appropriate curriculum and to enhance social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth in young children. The program emphasizes that child-initiated and teacher-supported play is essential, that learning occurs in an inquiring, cooperative, nurturing atmosphere, and that students increase their knowledge through both self- and teacher-initiated experiences. The mission also states that learning takes place through the senses, that meaningful experiences with materials and other people come before abstract understanding, that respect and caring for oneself, others, the environment, and all life are necessary, and that childcare professionals should always maintain a sense of humor.
