Daycare For Capital Region Families
Please excuse the mess...the children are making memories
Come see why so many Capital Region families choose TSL Kids Crew to provide daycare for their youngest children. With a daily curriculum, experienced teachers and five convenient locations (Troy, Rotterdam, Guilderland, Scotia and Syracuse), your kids will love learning and growing with other children from the area. Learn more with our daycare pricing and FAQs below, or contact us with any question you have. We'd love to give you a tour so you can experience the center firsthand.
TSL presently offers five daycare programs. In Guilderland, Troy, Scotia, and Syracuse our daycare provides care for ages 6 weeks through 5 years old. In Rotterdam, our daycare provides care for ages 18 mos-5 years old. Our daycare programs are developmental with a daily curriculum that aligns with NYS Early Learning Standards. Likewise, our daycares have a gross motor room where children can exercise and play when they are not able to go outside. Some of our daycare centers also include a school-age program, so your 5-12 year old can attend before or after school, an during vacation camps and summer!
