Services

Did your nanny call in sick or unexpectedly quit on you? Would you like to head out to run some errands or have a last minute emergency situation? Register with us and you can call us to see if you can either drop off your child for emergency care or for a few hours of socialization. We care for our pay as you go children and families the same way we care for our children who come in routinely.

We can also dispatch a sitter to your home through Nannies and Sitters NYC Inc.

You can count on Learning Odyssey Daycare for you after school needs. After school encompasses care for children enrolled in Kindergarten and up and need care directly after school or when they are off from school due to holidays and breaks. For the schools nearby we also pick up as well.

When children arrive we offer them the ability to take a snack break. Then we move on to HW help. After HW is complete we move to enrichment activities such as yoga, art and outside play weather permitting.

(3 months to 2 years)

During the first years of life, children are working on acquiring a sense of trustworthiness of oneself and others. This is the sense of safety and security that comes from responsive and predictable care from familiar others to whom the child is attached to for months.

Infants are equipped with the capacity to understand and feel more than we are led to believe. In fact, the first two years of life is when the brain grows and develops the fastest. These are the years that a good foundation is essential for physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth.

The infants are provided with a warm, safe, predictable environment. We work around their nap and meal schedule. The infants are stimulated with exploratory play, singing, reading, infant massage and strength exercises. We also provide our infants with daily tummy time and room to cruise and crawl.

We uphold a 1 adult to 2 infant ratio until a child is 24 months old, which is superior to most daycare facilities and provides the socialization needed. Our facilities are clean and sanitized with plenty of natural sun light. Our staff is compassionate and caring. We go above and beyond daily to provide you with superior service.

(24 months to 36 months)

In the toddler years, a strong sense of independence is building. This is a time when a child desires to separate and individuate themselves from their caregivers. Despite this need to become an autonomous individual, the child also needs to know that they can rely on their caregivers when they are needed.

When children develop through this stage successfully, they can navigate the real world with confidence and competence. To achieve this, children need a safe environment full of opportunities where they are encouraged to explore and have fun. They need a space where they can be mobile, satisfy their curiosities and enjoy.

The toddler program will nurture, stimulate and prepare your child for preschool. The toddlers will participate in the same schedule as the preschool children, only they will receive exposure to activities that are age-appropriate. They will be exposed to numbers, letters, shapes, sizes, identifying everything in their environment to satisfy their curiosity. This will be done through story telling, singing, eating, playing, dancing and exercising.

Our toddler classroom has a superior 1 adult to 6 toddler ratio and on most days we are one adult to 4 toddlers. Our facility is clean, sanitized, well lit and stocked with supplies and resources.

(36 months to 4.5 years old)

Preschool is a time when children need an opportunity to explore, play, socialize, learn and most importantly prepare for the rigors of elementary school. Even now more then ever children need to be ready to move into an active learning environment once they move into Kindergarten. Children are now expected to read and write in Kindergarten. Learning Odyssey staff works very hard on our preschool program to ensure that children are ready to face the Kindergarten classroom challenges and still have fun while doing so. Our goal is to not only prepare but to develop a love for learning.

We teach our literacy, math, science, social studies, music and art through fun themes, play, projects and field trips. Our teachers involve parents very much in the classroom and our ratio is 1 adult to 4 children. Our facility is clean, well lit and very well stocked with all the appropriate tools and resources. We also have a segment during the day where we exercise children’s minds in higher thinking and prepare them for taking the NYC Gifted and Talented Exam. Our preschool classroom is a truly unique and rewarding experience.

Theater, music and movement, art classes, Chinese Mandarin you name it.
