All day care consists of five to ten hours per day, one to three days per week, and schedules that cross 12 Noon.

Prices for Child Care are Inclusive
Our prices for child care include delicious, nutritious meals and snacks. We serve fresh, healthy foods including in-season produce, Natural Ovens Bakery products and organic products whenever possible. Infants are served iron fortified formula and Earth's Best Organic baby food. Your child will be provided breakfast, lunch and at least one snack, all at no extra charge to you! Check out our menus to see the yummy foods we offer. For more information about the other ways we promote your child's health through healthy eating, please see our nutrition policies.
Laundering of nap bedding is also included in the prices for child care. According to licensing regulations, we provide your child with a porta-crib with sheet or nap mat and pillow with sheet, blanket, and pillowcase which are to be laundered weekly. Many child care programs send childrens' bedding home every Friday for parents to launder over the weekend. We know how busy your weekends are so we offer this service at no extra charge to you! In addition, if you choose to bring a special blanket from home we will launder it along with your child's other bedding.
Prices for child care include learning activities, supplies, and materials. Some child care programs purchase mass-produced curriculum plans and charge parents a monthly fee to cover the cost. Our program implements an emergent curriculum which focuses on the needs and interests of each child and is included in the prices for child care. Although we may ask for donations of common household items such as paper towel rolls, tissue boxes, collage materials and the like, we never charge a fee for curriculum materials! See the additional information section of our policies for more information about play and toys at Amy & Kids Co.
