The Mount Kisco Day Care Centers, Inc. is a New York State licensed center providing all-day care and education for children ages 3 months to 5 years, regardless of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. It also provides a before-school program for the children of Mt. Kisco Elementary School only and an after-school program for kindergarten children and for first through fifth grade children attending any Bedford School. School-age children are cared for full time during school vacations and the summer months. The Center operates 51 weeks of the year. Presently, the Center closes for the week before Labor Day.
A breakfast, hot lunch and mid-afternoon snack are provided, fulfilling 2/3 of a child's daily nutritional requirements. The Flying Pig Farm Market Cafe/Hudson Valley Edible Art Food Service  will provide your children with freshly prepared foods at the Mount Kisco Day Care Center. The mission of Flying Pig is to create delicious meals from a variety of seasonal foods produced bylocal natural farmers and artisans. All the the meats, grains, cheeses and milk served are organic. This means that the food they eat is not only healthy, but also free of chemicals and pesticides. Your children will be able to enjoy delicious meals prepared daily with all of the nutrients they need to learn and grow. We take seriously the responsibility of feeding your children and teaching them good eating habits. The foods your children are eating now will shape the development of their future eating patterns.
The Center has an educational program that meets the standards of New York State licensing, and coincides with developmentally appropriate practices as set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
The Mount Kisco Day Care Centers, Inc. accepts children who will be age 3 months through fifth grade at the time of enrollment. While most children participate in the program full time, i.e. at least 6 hours a day, 5 days per week, part time participation in the programs may be available, at the discretion of the Director.
