What We Offer

At MeloMaries ChildCare Services, we provide high-quality, developmentally appropriate programs designed to nurture children’s growth, learning, and well-being. Our childcare services focus on safety, engagement, and education, ensuring that every child receives the best possible care.

Infant & Toddler Care (6 weeks – 2 years old)

Our Infant & Toddler Care Program provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where young children can grow and explore. Caregivers offer individualized attention to ensure each child's needs are met. Sensory play, such as soft toys, music, and colorful visuals, helps develop cognitive and motor skills. Language development is encouraged through songs, reading, and simple communication. A structured daily routine includes feeding, naptime, and interactive play to create a comforting and stable experience.

Preschool Program (3 – 5 years old)

Our Preschool Program prepares children for school success through structured learning and hands-on experiences. Early literacy and numeracy activities introduce letters, numbers, shapes, and colors in an engaging way. Creative expression is encouraged through music, arts, and dramatic play, while social and emotional development is nurtured through group activities that teach teamwork and independence. Children also participate in physical play and outdoor exploration to support motor skill development and healthy habits.

Before & After School Care (5 – 12 years old)

We provide a structured and supervised environment for school-aged children before and after school hours. Our program includes homework assistance, helping children complete assignments with the support of caregivers. Enrichment activities such as arts, crafts, and hands-on projects encourage creativity and personal growth. Supervised playtime allows children to unwind and socialize in a safe and supportive setting. Transportation options may be available depending on location and need.

Flexible Part-Time & Full-Time Care

We understand that families have different scheduling needs, which is why we offer flexible childcare options. Parents can choose part-time or full-time care based on their work schedules and personal preferences. Whether you need care a few days a week or full-day support, we provide a safe, engaging, and structured environment that adapts to your family's needs.

Extra-Curricular Activities

We believe in providing opportunities beyond basic childcare to enhance children's learning and creativity. Our extra-curricular programs may include music and movement, where children explore rhythm and sound through fun activities, and art exploration, which allows them to express themselves through painting, drawing, and hands-on crafts. Outdoor adventures and nature-based learning experiences help children connect with their environment while engaging in physical activity.
