Infants (6 weeks – 12 months)

Our infant program focuses on creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where babies can grow and develop at their own pace. We support early development through tummy time, sensory experiences, music, language exposure, and plenty of loving interaction. Each child’s routine is individualized to match their feeding, sleeping, and developmental needs.

Toddlers (1 – 2 years)

Our toddler program encourages exploration, independence, and early learning through hands-on experiences. Children learn through play, movement, language development, and simple problem-solving activities. Our daily routine provides structure while still allowing flexibility for curiosity, free play, and individual growth. Social and self-help skills are introduced and supported every day.

Preschool program

Preschool (3 years)

Our preschool program helps children build foundational academic and social skills through fun, engaging lessons. We focus on early literacy, math readiness, creative play, science exploration, and dramatic play. Children also learn teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation as they interact with their peers in a positive classroom community.

Pre-K program

Pre-K (4 – 5 years)

Our Pre-K program prepares children for kindergarten success. Through structured learning centers, guided instruction, and hands-on activities, children strengthen language, reading readiness, early math, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. We also support independence, confidence, and a love of learning so every child leaves ready for a smooth transition into elementary school.

Our Approach

The Mission – The mission of The First Place Daycare is to establish a safe environment for children and a trust worthy place for parents, and to help each child develop in the hopes that they can be of good for the future.

 

Vision- The vision of The First Place Daycare is to direct and develop in each child an advancement in knowledge in the child’s life at an early age, preparing him/her in the first step to face preschool with knowledge and abilities in the basic subjects of his/her first experience in daycare.

Where we can evaluate progress every three months until one year of the child’s intellectual development, development as in a group, and development as a person, this can be achieved at The First Place Daycare.

About the Owner

Rosa M. Torres-Gali is the proud owner of her daycare program, which she opened 2½ years ago with the mission of providing a warm, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment for young children. Before opening her daycare, Rosa served as a foster parent beginning in 2018, gaining hands-on experience in creating a stable, loving, and structured home for children in care.

Prior to that, she worked for eight years supervising family visits for the Department of Children and Families, where she supported family connections and child well-being. These experiences shaped her dedication to early childhood education and inspired her passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel safe each day.
