My son just graduated kindergarten at St. Elizabeth's Child Care Center on Garrison Ave. It costs $650 per month. Two meals and two snacks are included. They open at 7 and close at 5:30, late pickup til 6 for more $.

The day care is structured as a school. All the children were reading by the end of pre-k or early into the kindergarten year. Good academics, great, loving care. If the religious aspect doesn't bother you, I'd highly recommend them.

My son will be starting at Beloved in September. Bret Schundler has been at every meeting personally and is very enthusiastic about the school. He and his wife personally respond to any emails or questions and that makes me feel good about the school's potential. Keepting my fingers crossed!
