Our Programs

We bring years of experience in early childhood care, and we understand that today’s families need more than a one-size-fits-all schedule. Child care needs can change over time—because work schedules shift, children start activities, and family routines evolve. Our goal is to make high-quality care feel steady and supportive, even when life gets busy.

That’s why we offer a full range of flexible options, including full-time and part-time care, before and/or after school care, and drop-in care for registered students. Families can choose the schedule that fits now—and adjust as needs change—without sacrificing the warmth, consistency, and dependable care children thrive on.

A loving start. A safe place. A day designed around your baby.
Leaving your infant is a big decision. Our program is built to help families feel confident and supported—with nurturing care, a soothing environment, and responsive routines that honor each baby’s unique needs.

Every day is personalized around your child’s rhythm—sleep, feeding, play, and comfort—so they feel secure, cared for, and understood.

We also provide gentle, meaningful activities that support early development through music, movement, language, sensory experiences, and exploration.

You’ll never wonder how your day went.
We maintain open communication and provide a daily summary with key details like feeding, naps, diapering, and a snapshot of your baby’s activities—so you stay connected and informed.

A joyful place to learn, grow, and belong.
Toddlers are busy discovering who they are—and they learn best in an environment that feels safe, warm, and encouraging. Our toddler program blends playful learning with gentle structure, helping children build confidence, independence, and early classroom skills.

Each day is filled with hands-on experiences—music and movement, stories, art, learning centers, sensory play, and indoor/outdoor time—so toddlers can explore, create, and learn in ways that feel natural and fun.

During circle time, children are introduced to early learning concepts like language, colors, shapes, numbers, and name recognition through songs, stories, and weekly themes.

Just as important, toddlers develop social-emotional skills as they learn to share, communicate, and participate in group routines—through guided play, group activities, and shared meals that strengthen their sense of belonging.

Full-Time & Part-Time Care • Nursery School + Extended Hours • Summer Camp

Children thrive when their days are filled with warmth, purpose, and play. Throughout the day, your child is engaged in experiences that build language, spark imagination, and support growing independence. Our teachers thoughtfully guide learning through:

• Arts & crafts that encourage creativity and self-expression
   
• Music and stories that build vocabulary, listening, and a love of learning
   
• Hands-on play that strengthens fine-motor skills through puzzles, games, and age-appropriate materials
   

For Kids Only is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), allowing us to offer extended hours for families who need more coverage beyond the nursery school day.

Registered children may stay for lunch, rest time, and afternoon activities for an hourly rate. Families can choose what works best:

• Set a consistent schedule (a set number of hours each week at registration), or
   
• Use extended care as needed by calling when coverage is needed
   

Flexible for parents. Consistent care for kids.

Chef Bonnie is truly the heart of our kitchen—and one of the reasons families tell us For Kids Only feels like a second home. Since the day we opened, Chef Bonnie has been preparing fresh, wholesome meals for our children with the kind of care you can taste: warm, comforting, and thoughtfully made.

Her cooking isn’t “cafeteria food.” It’s real food, made from scratch, right here on-site in our commercial kitchen. Each meal is prepared with attention to quality, balance, and kid-friendly flavors—so children are excited to eat and parents feel good about what’s on the plate.

We also prioritize freshness. Fruits and vegetables are purchased fresh each week, and we aim for a simple, “farm-to-table” approach whenever possible—bringing seasonal ingredients into meals and snacks that support growing bodies and busy days.

Ask any child and you’ll hear it quickly: Chef Bonnie makes the best food.

And ask any parent and you’ll hear something just as important: it’s comforting to know their child is being nourished with meals made with genuine pride, consistency, and love.
