We have a reference library and appropriate books for all ages and all subjects. We are understanding of parents who experience traffic problems. The cost per day covers 7:15 am - 6:15 pm.

In the summer we have 2 pools, one for small children and one for the older children. We take walks to the park and can drive children to school and pick-up from school or after-school programs. We serve breakfast - you bring lunch - we will prepare anything if you don't have the time. Additional cost for lunch and dinner.

Home Away From Home

51 Prospect Ave Edison, NJ

I offer a Home Away From Home for your child. I am a mom of four myself (ages 15 - 21) and all children I care for become part of our family, even long after I stop caring for them on a regular basis. I have over 30 years experience caring for children other then my own, the last 6 years of which have been full-time. I have glowing references from all parents along the way. My promise to all parents whose children I care for is that I will care for your child as if they were my own; I know no other way. At the end of each day, you will go home with a detailed list of what and when they ate and took naps. My working hours are 8 am - 6 pm; however, I am willing to extend that occasionally for $10/hour, when the need arises. For the last 2 years I have cared full-time for a now 2 year old, and recently welcomed his brother into our group when he was only 8 weeks old. (Note: I also cared for their older brothers, who are now 8 and 6, for 2 years when they were similar ages). The 3rd child I care for is a 2 1/2 year old girl, who comes to me 1 - 3 varying days each week. Therefore, I have 1 - 2 openings. My weekly rates are $275 full-time for infants on bottle/baby food (which you provide) and $300 full-time for toddlers and older (includes breakfast, lunch, snack and all milk). Daily rates are $60 for infants and $65 for toddlers and older (food as detailed above). I will not care for more than 4/5 children at one time, with the exception of a 4 year old who I watch during the school year from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. I look forward to welcoming your child into our Home Away From Home.

1429 HYLAN BLVD STATEN ISLAND, NY

Our program is designed to develop a young mind, foster curiosity, connect with community, provide support as a family and help each child discover their unique identity. We aid in the transition from home to a school setting. This is accomplished through welcome emails, orientations, parent – teacher introductions and opportunities to explore the center prior to their first day. Our primary focus is to ensure the children are comfortable in their classrooms as teachers build a strong bond with each student. Our goal is to expose students to different cultures, backgrounds and real-life experiences. A priority of the program is to make sure that the families are comfortable with the staff and know that their child is in a safe and secure setting through an open line of communication. Families are encouraged to partake in their child’s learning through participation in events and provide feedback. We acknowledge the bilingual needs of the families within our community and therefore provide bilingual staff for both parents and students. Our program is unique as we are bilingual in every classroom to meet the needs of our English language learners. We created a customized curriculum using a multisensory approach to target kinesthetic, visual and auditory learners. We incorporated a music program as an introduction to theater and basic dance. The use of technology creates a pathway for students to learn through engaging, interactive software across all content areas. We have our own private playground which children utilize twice a day, weather permitting. We provide the children with three home cooked meals each day and encourage healthy eating habits.

Michelle Y. says "My experience with Steps To Success IV is like no other. They are truly hands on with all the children. My son went there about 8 years ago (he was 2)...

Nice to Meet You! Brooklyn Robot Foundry offers STEAM classes for children, and sometimes adults, all over the country. The goal of the Robot Foundry is to share the fun of STEAM learning with children everywhere and inspire them to continue a life full of exploration, problem-solving, and imagination. We do this by offering fun, creative and educational classes, parties, camps and field trips to children 2-14 years old. Our signature designs and building methods allow children to build on their own, resulting not only in a cool robot but also in increased confidence. (Children 2-5 years old are required to build with an adult, but do much of it on their own!) We encourage creativity and independent thinking from all of our builders. We provide the guidelines for each day’s robots, but the final design is up to the student. We offer a variety of programs, ranging in commitment from a single class to an entire semester.
