Our Infant Daycare Program

The first months of a child’s life are some of the most critical. Each child is ingesting an incredible amount of information and stimulus, shaping their brains and helping them grow. Every family knows that providing high-quality care during this time is an investment in the long-term health and success of their child. Now infants and families in Pembroke Pines can enjoy a reliable and comfortable daycare experience when they stay with us!

At Home Away From Home, we’ve structured our infant care program around these early and pivotal moments. From helping them establish a sense of a routine to improving their immune systems, our infant program uses a diverse curriculum to ensure that each child is well cared for.

At our childcare center in Pembroke Pines, we maintain a careful nutritional and diapering program that ensures your child is nourished and comfortable throughout the day. With our regular hours, it’s easy for families to leave an infant with us while family members work or study. We’ve structured our infant care spaces in a way that offers gentle stimulus, which nurtures early brain development. Throughout the day, your infant will interact with our team of caregivers, offering them a chance to develop trust and relationships with adult educators.

Toddler Daycare and Programs

As toddlers, children make some of their largest, and most rapid strides in their growth and development. At this age, children master skills like taking their first steps and potty training, and begin to work on more nuanced skills like playing with others, following directions, and learning social skills. We’re excited to work with toddlers, as they’re always excited to play and learn! In the toddler daycare program, your child will make lasting connections with our educators and their friends!

Every day, your child will enjoy a brand-new lesson plan that is carefully designed to teach them valuable skills and ideas. Our daycare teachers have crafted a fun and active learning environment that appeals to every kind of learning style. Our toddler classrooms are bright and cheery, encouraging toddlers to investigate, ask questions, and explore the world around them.

More than just nourishing their minds, we nourish their bodies too. Each child is served free, nutritious meals as they stay and play with us. We provide a hot lunch that’s cooked fresh daily, and an afternoon snack too. To keep your child healthy, we follow a strict no sugar, no peanuts policy to ensure that no one has an unfortunate allergic reaction.

Preschool Programs for 2 and 3-Year-Olds

Taking advantage of a quality preschool program helps little ones embrace big ideas. Our daycare classrooms are brightly decorated to promote a sense of wonder and exploration. Our sprawling backyards and playgrounds are a place to recreate and learn. Every month, our instructors have a specific theme that they develop with the children in the classroom.

Designed for 2 and 3-year-olds, our preschool program starts introducing school concepts and ideas like math, art, and science. They’ll also be encouraged to explore and grow through activities like imaginary play, music, computer classes, and even weekly cooking classes. At Home Away From Home in Pembroke Pines, we believe that the preschool setting is ideal for encouraging children to take part in both shared and independent learning activities. We make time each day for children to express themselves and learn in a way that works best for them.

Taken together, our preschool program sets your child up for success in a school setting. They’ll be introduced to concepts like reading and writing, establishing a strong foundation for lifelong literacy skills. Children who go through our preschool are better prepared for kindergarten and early schooling than children who don’t.

Get Ahead With Free VPK

Here in Florida, the state offers a free Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program. Studies have shown that programs like these are an ideal way to prepare your child for elementary school. Home Away From Home is proud to offer this VPK program. This program is available to Florida families, regardless of the number of children they have or their income levels. Our VPK program is free, and we do not charge any fees for this valuable service!

Nearly 80 percent of 4-year-olds in Florida attend a VPK program, and each program provides structured learning time throughout the school year. There are even supplemental programs offered during the summer months for little ones who just can’t get enough of learning! At Home Away From Home, we are fortunate to work with a team of talented care providers and educators who offer the highest quality of instruction.

Our free VPK mirrors the structure of kindergarten and elementary school classes, familiarizing your child with this routine. Here, your child will learn important listening and participation skills. By working with other children in the VPK program, your little one will strengthen their social and emotional skills like empathy, problem-solving, and team building.
