Services
Welcome to Days of Wonder Child Care Program where every day holds a wonderful new adventure! Days of Wonder is a non-profit child care program licensed by New York State and Westchester County. For over 45 years we have nurtured and loved thousands of children in the tri-state area. Days of Wonder Child Care Program operated by the Hudson Valley Day Care Center, Inc. is a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
At Days of Wonder, we tailor our classrooms to meet the needs of active, curious children. Our classrooms are equipped with developmentally appropriate learning centers, including kitchen areas, block areas and quiet areas. Our outdoor facilites provide a space for children to run, jump and explore their large motor skills.
The toddlers are coming! On mild days, they can be spotted about town. These frequent walks to the fire house or post office help the young ones develop a sense of community. Some days, we head for the library for story adventures. Other days, we take the playground. As the tots ride, run, dig, and climb, they learn crucial lessons-how to share, how to take turns, and how to get along.
What does Namaste mean? According to ancient Sanskrit, it is an everyday salutation that means, "The Spirit in me salutes the Spirit in you." But when the children at Days of Wonder say, "Namaste, " they are reinforcing the message that they are each strong, confident beings. We have yoga once a week once a week, and even the very young ones are on the mats for stretching, downward-dog fun, and breathing exercises.
At Days of Wonder Child Care Program, our concern is for the whole child. Our mission is to provide each child with a safe, loving environment so that he or she can feel the support that is necessary for emotional, social and academic growth. Because we see our center as "A HOME AWAY FROM HOME" for the little ones left in our care, our professional staff takes on the role of the parent.

Days of Wonder is an absolutely amazing place run by an equally outstanding team of caring people! My son has been attending DOW since he was 20 months old and he will be "graduating" from the school this June! Each teacher he has had has been caring, supportive, and nurturing and he genuinely loves going to school each day. In addition to the fantastic friends he has made and experiences that have enriched his young life so far, the wonderful team of Jennifer and Cecilia have been incredibly supportive to our family. We will truly miss the entire staff at the school when he goes off to Kindergarten

Days of Wonder Childcare Program is the best full day program offered in the Rivertowns. We consider them our extended family. Our children have thrived in their programs. They not only take the time to get to know your children but the experiences they offer are invaluable. The teachers are so loving and truly bond with each child. It is very reassuring to know that you are leaving your children with staff that LOVE them. I can't say enough to praise the wonderful staff and program at Days of Wonder. We love you!

Both of my kids have attended this wonderful school, which offers play-based learning in a fun and loving atmosphere. The school is well-integrated into the community; the kids go on visits to the library and to the local fire station. Days of Wonder thinks hard about how to offer food that's both healthy and fun, offers all sorts of wonderful enriching activities for the kids (yoga, music, karate, art class), and boasts thoughtful, committed, loving, knowledgable teachers. (There's very little turnover with the main staff.)
