Learning, Playing & Growing — The I CAN Way

At I CAN Child Care, learning happens through the moments children enjoy most — exploring, creating, moving, reading, imagining and playing together.

Our child-centered approach gives children the freedom to discover while providing the loving guidance, structure and encouragement they need to build confidence, develop new skills and become excited about learning.

Stories, reading and age-appropriate learning experiences help build strong foundations for kindergarten and beyond.

Learning Through Play

Purposeful play encourages curiosity, problem-solving, communication and important social skills.

Creativity, Music & Movement

Arts, crafts, music, movement and hands-on activities give little learners opportunities to create, express themselves and explore new ideas.

Character, Confidence & Faith

In our nurturing Christian environment, children are encouraged to believe in themselves, practice kindness, grow in confidence and discover just how much they CAN do.

Every child has unique gifts and abilities. We provide the structure, encouragement, and opportunities for children to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.

What Families Say About Us

Verified Google reviews from I CAN Child Care families in Mount Vernon.

“I strongly recommend this daycare. My son went there from when he was 2 years old until he was 4 plus, and I can tell you this daycare helped to build my son for what he is today. My son is a straight honor roll student, NJHS award recipient, and 3-time spelling bee champion—all because of this daycare. Every time I see my son's achievements, I always remember this daycare. The owner is very nice, always helping you out in every tough situation. This daycare has done so much for me and my son. This place holds a special place in my heart that me and my son will always cherish. 🙏🙏”

“There are some people you never forget because of the way they cared for your children. My triplets were loved and cared for as if they were her very own. The entire staff was absolutely wonderful, and the level of care, patience, and love they poured into my babies meant more to me than words can express. As a mother, knowing your children are safe, loved, and genuinely cared for is priceless. I will always be grateful for the beautiful foundation of love and care they gave my triplets. ❤️”
— Taye Meatley
“My daughter used to attend this daycare, and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. The teachers and staff genuinely cared about her and made her feel comfortable, loved, and welcomed. I saw so much growth in her while she was there, both socially and academically. I will always appreciate the role they played in her early years and the wonderful memories she made there. I highly recommend them!”
