About Us

More Than a Daycare — It's a Family

Alma C. Rodriguez Morales Group Family Daycare has been a cornerstone of early childhood care in Astoria since 2014. Located in a peaceful residential building on 96th Street, our home-based program offers the kind of consistent, nurturing environment that large centers simply can't replicate.

We keep our groups small so every child gets the attention they deserve — whether that's help tying shoes, encouragement during a tough puzzle, or a quiet moment when the world feels too loud. Parents here aren't account numbers; they're neighbors.

What We Offer

Programs Built Around Your Child's Stage

From their first steps to their first day of kindergarten, we tailor every moment to match your child's developmental needs and personality.

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care for babies from 6 weeks old. Individualized feeding and sleeping schedules, tummy time, and sensory play in a quiet, secure environment.

Toddler Program

Active, curious toddlers thrive with structured play, language-building activities, and plenty of outdoor time. We celebrate every milestone — first words, first jumps, first friendships.

Preschool Prep

Building the foundations for kindergarten and beyond — pre-literacy, early math, social skills, and independent thinking through hands-on, play-based curriculum.

After-School Care

A safe, supportive space after the school bell rings. Homework help, creative projects, snack time, and unstructured play until parents finish their workday.

Summer Programs

No summer gap — just fun, learning, and adventure. Weekly themed activities, field trips to nearby parks and libraries, and water play to beat the Queens heat.

Special Needs Support

Every child belongs here. We work closely with families and therapists to adapt our environment and routines so children with diverse needs can flourish alongside their peers.

Safety First

Your Peace of Mind Is Non-Negotiable

We know that handing your child over to someone else is one of the hardest things a parent does. That's why safety isn't just a checklist for us — it's the foundation of everything we do, every single day.

NY State Licensed & Insured

Fully compliant with all New York State childcare regulations and regularly inspected.

Background-Checked Staff

Every adult in our home has passed thorough background checks and CPR/First Aid certification.

Child-Proofed Environment

Gated entrances, safety latches, secured furniture, and a dedicated play area designed specifically for young children.

Daily Communication

Parents receive daily updates on meals, naps, activities, and any concerns — because you should never wonder how your child's day went.
