Welcome to Northern Dutchess Day Care


Early Learning Center & School Aged Child Care

Education should celebrate the wisdom of each child. At Northern Dutchess Day Care/Early Learning Center and School Aged Child Care, we awaken the whole child through an educational program that engages body, mind, and heart. Our creative curriculum focuses less on molding children and more on unfolding each individual learner. Helping children discover themselves, as well as their place in the world around them, is at the core of everything we do.

EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS
(18 months - 5 years)

Our Toddler, Preschool, and Pre-K curricula awaken early learning skills in reading, expression, fine and gross motor skills, math, science, and the creative arts, while developing age appropriate social skills and team building.
