At Sitrin, we believe that group child care works best when provided in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere - one that will make your child feel right at home. Like you, we put your child first every moment he or she is with us.

Specialized Services

Licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, Bureau of Early Childhood Services, the Sitrin Child Care Center offers a total of 64 full-time slots for children ranging in age from six weeks to five years. The center provides professional, quality child care for the entire community, as well as for the children of Sitrin employees.

Children in our care are placed in classrooms according to their age and development, which we organize in five distinct groups:

• Infants - 6 weeks to 15 months
• Waddlers - 15 to 24 months
• Toddlers - 2 years
• Rompers - 3 years
• Preschoolers - 4-5 years

Knowledgeable, Compassionate Staff

Our teachers and teacher assistants provide a nurturing and caring environment, while teaching the children through innovative programming and a variety of activities. Sitrin's Child Care Center also features a full-time cook, who works with a registered dietician to prepare a nourishing morning and afternoon snack for the children, as well as a healthy lunch, every day.

Special Programs

• Readiness curriculum: Our preschool class offers a kindergarten readiness curriculum, so that each child is prepared to start elementary school when they graduate from our program.
• Intergenerational program: Children between the ages of three and five years can take part in an intergenerational program that takes place each month with residents from the Sitrin Health Care Center.
• Rehabilitative therapies: Working with both families and outside agencies, Sitrin offers the flexibility of having children receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy services while in attendance at the center.
