At BuzyTots, our goal is to provide a safe, healthy, caring, and age-level fun learning environment for your child. We believe that children should be allowed to play freely. Playing aids in growth and provides an imaginary world that children can master. Playing provides a basis for building self-esteem and a way of learning adult roles.
Hours of Operation:
8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday
Smooth Transition Process:
Generally, most kids are adjusted by two to five days of full-time care. If you prefer (and have the time), you have an option to start one week before your actual start date to drop your child for four hours for first day and gradually increase to full day by the end of the week. In that week your child will have one-on-one attention from an adult to familiarize with the rooms, other children, outdoors, and all adults. You will receive multiple updates throughout the day with photos and videos. The charges for that week will be $20/hour.
For first 2 weeks parents will get direct update 3-4 times a day with photos and videos. After that the updates are provided on request. Most children have a consistent eating and diaper schedule by the end of the two weeks. Photos and videos of activities, meals for the day, and/or any updates about the childcare are posted in the WhatsApp group by the end of the day.
Clothing and supplies:
BuzyTots provides sippy cups, nap mats, sheets, and blankets for each child and wash them weekly at no extra charge.
For outside play children should wear closed toe shoes with velcro straps. Shoes with laces or flip-flops or sandals are not allowed in daycare. Include a sweatshirt or a light jacket for the unexpected change of weather.
