Pledge to make a difference, together.
The Southampton Day Care Center – “Fountain of Youth” -was founded in 1985. We are one of the only non-profit day care centers in the Town of Southampton. Throughout the years we continue to make every effort to provide the finest early childhood experience for children in the Southampton community, as well as surrounding neighborhoods. We have successfully created an environment that is safe, nurturing and respectful to the needs of each child. We pride ourselves in focusing on the whole child, and maintaining emotional, social and cognitive development on a daily basis. This is our continuing mission.
As such, it is our expressed purpose to provide quality programs for our young students; including language development, math, art, science, music, fine & large motor skills, and writing techniques. Play is seen as one of the most profound means available to children for refining and integrating their knowledge and development of language and social skills, along with primary development of self-esteem and individuality. We look forward to meeting you and working with your children.
The Southampton Day Care Center admits children 2-5 years of age. The Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sexual orientation or national origin in the administration of our educational policies, or any other Center operated activity.
The National Association for Education of Young Children influences our philosophy. The New York State Office of Child and Family Services license us. We have a current and continual contract with Department of Social Services. Our commitment to the community is evident through the generous grants and donations received from organizations such as: Southampton Town, Southampton Village, as well as private donations. Parent fees only cover approximately 60% of our operating costs.
