Programs
Care is organized by age: toddlers, preschool, and school-age children, plus a Universal Pre-K partnership, a summer program, and an inclusion program.
Toddler care
Toddler classrooms serve ages 18 to 36 months in small groups (up to 8 to 10 children), five days a week from 7 am to 6 pm, focused on socialization and building social, cognitive, language, and motor skills.
Preschool
Preschool serves children three to five years old, five days a week from 7 am to 6 pm, with a strong focus on social-emotional readiness for kindergarten.
School-age care
Before- and after-school care serves children from kindergarten through fifth grade who attend the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns or Irvington Public Schools. After parents arrange afternoon drop-off, children get a snack, time for homework, and group activities, with full days when schools are closed or dismissed early.
Universal Pre-K
A Universal Pre-K (UPK) program runs in partnership with the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns at John Paulding School, staffed by center teachers, with Spanish-speaking staff in each classroom. UPK seats are filled by lottery through the school district.
Hours
Open year-round. From September through June the center runs Monday through Friday, 7 am to 6 pm, with a separate summer schedule in July and August.

Licensing

Approach
The program centers on learning through play and hands-on experiences, supporting cognitive, social-emotional, physical, language, and literacy development in a warm, safe environment, with a strong home-and-school partnership.
