At Amy's Angels Child Care, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. We are committed to supporting the whole child through meaningful learning experiences that promote social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative development.
We believe that every child is unique and deserves respect, encouragement, and opportunities to reach their full potential. Through the use of research-based practices and the Experience Early Learning curriculum, we foster curiosity, independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
We value strong partnerships with families and recognize parents and caregivers as a child's first and most important teachers. By working collaboratively with families, maintaining open communication, and embracing diversity, we create a welcoming community that supports the success and well-being of every child.
As a program licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, professionalism, and ethical practice. Our goal is to provide quality childcare services that meet the needs of working families while preparing children for future educational success and positive participation in their communities.
