Please call Little Pals at 845-783-3006 for an updated recording with information about delays and cancellations. We will also send out a school wide email as early as possible, or check our Facebook page. Decisions on delays and closings will be based on the individual weather situation with regard to safety of both our families and our employees.
Typically before care will open at 9:30 am (on a two-hour delay) and if daycare is delayed one hour it will open at 8:30 am, however this is dependent upon access to parking lot and the building. Please note that monthly tuition rates reflect the total program tuition divided over a payment period of ten months and therefore is not pro-rated due to holidays, snow days, vacations or cancellations.

It is the philosophy of our preschool that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. Preschool children are creative and receptive; the program strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in its students. Our objective is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and the development of the child as a whole.
Little Pals Preschool is a New York State licensed Day Care and registered with New York State Educational Department, so therefore meets stringent safety, health, and educational requirements. Under the direction of Angela Nardo, MS-CCC-Speech Language Pathologist, the staff applies strategies to encourage speech language development, and language use throughout all activities.
The first months and years of a child's life are the most formative in development of mind, body and spirit. Sleep, emotional and physical nourishment and sensory stimulation are more important in infancy than at any other time.
The most important need for these children is warm, nurturing care from the adults they depend on, as well as, providing them with secure surroundings and playthings that meet their needs and support their individual development.The development of language is particularly crucial during the infant-toddler period.

The development of language is particularly crucial during the infant-toddler period. Therefore, we will provide many opportunities for your toddler to engage in meaningful, experienced-based communication with their caregivers, and have their communications acknowledged and encouraged. Our Toddler curriculum is multi-faceted and geared toward the "whole child", fostering multiple intelligences and learning styles.
Our 3 Year Old and Transition Program curriculum is multi-faceted and geared toward the "whole child", fostering multiple intelligences and learning styles. The centers in our classrooms will be available for hands-on-learning and reflect evidence on the topic being investigated. Circle Time each day will set the stage for the exploration and introduce relevant concepts.

As most parents, we did a lot of research and site visits to preschools when selecting one for our son. Little Pals was everything we were looking for, and then some. Working for OCFS myself, I had the inside scoop on which ones were good and bad, and word of mouth from other moms, made this an obvious choice. Additionally, our son has an expressive speech delay and the love care and dedication by the Nardo family has most definitely helped our son achieve speech milestones and has helped him grow tremendously. He comes home from the summer camp smelly, dirty, exhausted and happy and looking forward

The staff at Little Pals is great. Angela the owner is amazing and she is on top of things. She is there for you to talk to and treats your kids like theyre her own. Maryanne in the front is awesome! She is always there and will help you with any question or comcern you have. I trust her and the staff. Ive never had any issues that werent resolved.

I recommended my family and friends to go there.They have great hours, reasonsble prices, they offer after care and they have camp

Little pals preschool is the 2nd preschool/day care my daughter has been to and it is amazing! We could feel the difference immediately. The staff are caring and truly take the time to know each child. I love how organized they are and how informed they keep us parents. What a blessing to know that my daughter is being taught and cared for by teachers, office staff and a director/principal who all feel more like extended family rather than paid officials. We love this school!

My daughter has been attending Little Pals Preschool for about 2 years now and I have all great experiences. Her teachers have been so wonderful! They are knowledgeable, patient and treat everyone with respect. I noticed that they actually take the time to KNOW each child individually and which in turn helps the child grow within the group. My daughter never complains about going to school and always has so much to say when she leaves! Now that she is 4, her teacher has her working on science experiments and she loves everyone!!!! I don’t remember EVER doing any experiments at that age in school

Unbelievable Preschool who truly cares! Our son started preschool here and he obviously took some time adjusting in the beginning but now has SO much fun he doesn't even say bye to us when we drop him off. He loves his teachers, the kids in his class and everything in the classroom. There is such a great learning element provided even at his young age of 2 1/2 and he is able to remember songs and books they've read. After attending an open house I was also very pleasantly surprised to learn their safety procedures and the lengths they go to take care of the children. I feel 100% comfortable leaving

We've been a part of the Little Pals family for the past 5 years. We've experienced the infant, toddler, pre-school, and summer camp programs at Little Pals- we wouldn't want our children any place else. It's safe, clean and organized. The staff is loving, patient, and have provided and still provide our children with an exciting and fun educational experience. Their large outdoor space is safe, shaded, and really nice-if it is nice out, the kids are outside which is awesome! They also offer after school yoga programs which is great for the kids mindfulness, balance, and relaxation. Little Pals

Little Pals Preschool (Monroe NY) is by far, one of the most stellar environments for little ones. The teachers/caretakers treat each child as their own. They provide not only an exceptional early education program, but also a safe & loving home away from home for families that utilize the infant room/daycare.
