Home Daycares in Islip

My daycare program is a place where children learn! I go out of my way to work with parents and caregivers so that every child can thrive in our community. I began working with kids as a teen – babysitting for the children of neighbors – and this began a journey to a dual Masters degree in Elementary and Special Education - and my own home daycare program! My education and my experience with kids really helps me create an environment for learning, and this is what I love most about what I do – being able to use my skills, experience, and training to help kids grow.

Ms. Tusha’s home daycare caters to infants and toddlers, ages 3 months–6 years. As with every daycare on NeighborSchools, her program is licensed by the Office of Children and Family Services. That way you know providers have completed a 3-part background record check, and that their home environments have passed a detailed health and safety inspection. Ms. Tusha’s daycare is a great option for parents that want that small-scale, personal feeling with a daycare provider you can develop a real relationship with.

Helping young children make progress in their personal journeys is the most rewarding part. Once, I was working with a 5-year-old whose mother was having a hard time potty training him. He was also having a hard time socializing with other children. When he started working with us, we were able to give him more attention and encouragement, which worked wonders for his confidence! Soon, he was able to use the bathroom all by himself—and he became more social in the classroom, too! Seeing that growth (and how proud he was of himself) made all the difference. It was also a joy to be able to problem-solve with his parents. We look forward to working with all families as partners in this process. It’s relationships and success stories like these that made me want to open my own daycare after working at others for several years: so I could have a more active hand in designing the program and connecting with parents, as well as getting to know the children and figuring out what’s best for them.
