Baby Galileo Daycare and Preschool in Jersey City

 

Most schools and daycares I have encountered focus on the betterment and growth of the child. It is very rare that I get to come across a program that goes a little bit beyond that. Well I have found just that; Introducing Baby Galileo Daycare and Preschool. This is a place where they focus on the growth of infants and parents alike. Baby Galileo is a close-knit community that prides itself in encouraging the growth of baby and parent together. They understand that parenting is a learning process and are there to provide any guidance that they can.

Delicious and Nutritious!

At Baby Galileo the faculty understands the importance of a well-balanced diet. Nutrition is a huge key to success. Baby Galileo does the best job they can in providing wholesome foods for the children. They also like to explore and introduce new foods. As the child gets older they begin to introduce “finger-foods” and then later utensils. Baby Galileo in Jersey City provides healthy varieties such as cereal, crackers, fruits, vegetables, cheese, juice, milk and so on. The food schedule time goes as follows:

• Breakfast: 9:00am-9:30am
• Lunch: 12:00pm-1:00pm
• Afternoon Snack: 3:00pm

Being that many daycare centers and preschools do not provide food for the children, it is a great relief to know that at Baby Galileo they not only provide food, but also provide a nutritious and enlightening food experience.
