Are you bilingual?

Accepted Answer

Yes. My Piccolo Mondo is a bilingual English / Italian program. Children hear both languages in everyday conversation, songs, and routines.

Question 6

Do you provide meals?

Accepted Answer

All meals and snacks are provided. We eat together like a family. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs so we can plan around them.

Question 7

How many children and adults are there?

Accepted Answer

The group fluctuates between five and sixteen children. Lucia is there every day with three other people — staffing can shift a little with how many children are in that day.

Question 8

How do I enroll or check availability?

Accepted Answer

The fastest path is a tour. Call or text (914) 755-2107 to ask about availability and set a visit. After the tour, review the parent handbook and complete enrollment forms before the start date.

Question 9

Is this a home daycare or a large center?

Accepted Answer

We are a licensed group family day care in a home-like setting — usually five to sixteen children, Lucia plus three other people, and a consistent daily rhythm. It is not a large institutional center.

Question 10

Do you celebrate birthdays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We celebrate the child’s birthday. Parents usually bring cupcakes and we have a birthday party.

Question 11

Can I bring toys from home?

Accepted Answer

Please don’t. We have plenty of toys here. Toys from the outside can cause sharing problems.

Question 12

Who can pick up my child?

Accepted Answer

Only registered people on the pickup list. If Lucia has not met them, she will ask for photo ID.
