Day Care
Please excuse the mess...the children are making memories
TSL presently offers three daycare programs in the Capital Region. In Guilderland and Troy our daycare provides care for ages 6 weeks through 5 years old. In Rotterdam, our daycare provides care for ages 18 months -5 years old. Our daycare programs are developmental with a daily curriculum that goes above and beyond typical child care programs. Teachers employ the NYS Early Learning Standards in their daily planning to assist children in reaching developmental milestones. Our daycares have a gross motor room where children can exercise and play when they are not able to go outside.
