I remember a time in my life where my grandmother referred to my siblings and I as her "Pride & Joy”.  Every time I think of the term “Pride & Joy”, a feeling of love and comfort comes to mind. This feeling is something I wanted to pass on to other children.

I had a vision in 2004 to open a NYS licensed childcare program in my home for parents in need of a warm and loving place for their children while they were at work. In 2005, that vision became a reality. My goal was to incorporate a social, educational and nurturing program that would effectively help each child grow to his/her potential. After having much success within my NYS licensed In Home Program, I expanded the quality care into an additional location, the Pride & Joy Childcare Center. I have since closed the In Home Program and opened an additional Childcare center. Within these two locations, families are ensured the same exceptional care by highly qualified teachers and caregivers. Both of my programs offer children age appropriate education partnered with that same sense of love and comfort. Located just a few blocks apart from each other in Babylon, we are one big Pride & Joy family.
