A "back to the roots" view on
Hands On Learning
Experiencing Valley
Nestled on two parcels, totaling a 15-acre property with a play yard, fruit orchards, trails, gardens, a greenhouse, and livestock, Valley Daycare offers an ideal environment for children to explore, learn, and grow.
Valley Daycare is a locally owned and operated business dedicated to providing exceptional care to the youth of Sullivan County and surrounding communities. We aim to create a safe, nurturing, and educational space for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our curriculum lays the foundation for future elementary education while imparting essential life and agricultural skills. Our facility is equipped to give children the tools they need to succeed both in childhood and later life through innovative programs, creative opportunities, and stimulating new concepts.
Academics
4.5:1 Ratio
Using a curriculum surpassing state standard, tasks are designed so that each new step is built upon what the child has already mastered. Curating hands-on learning experiences provides the groundwork to promote a love of learning. Partnering a child-focused environment with reachable goals, clear expectations, small classroom sizes, and endless encouragement gives every child the means to grow into their best self.
Safety
Trained and Certified
Staff at Valley Daycare are certified by the American Red Cross in First Aid, CPR, AED, and Basic Life Saving.
Select staff members also hold Medical Administration Training Certificates from the Office of Children and Family Services, which allows Valley Daycare to administer over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Additionally, we are a stock epi-pen carrier. All staff have completed training in identifying and reacting to anaphylaxis.
Partnership
Dedicated to Teamwork
Guiding young minds is a team effort. Valley Daycare encourages opportunities for families to come together during and aftercare. Teachers stay connected to families with direct messaging services and individual child newsfeeds that update you on your child's activities throughout the day.
Meet the livestock.
Valley Daycare, the children help collect fresh eggs, learn how to care for livestock, and enjoy the companionship of our animals as part of their everyday experiences on our grounds.
Fluffy and Muffin spend their days happily munching on the dandelions the children collect for them. Located right next to our main playground, they give children daily opportunities for open-ended learning as they observe, interact, ask questions, and discover what makes these two so special.
Don't forget to stop and say Good Morning or Goodbye to Trouble—I promise, your child won't! He's always eager to greet visitors and has a particular talent for convincing children to share an apple. He might even be the reason your little one has suddenly taken an interest in packing carrots in their lunch box!
