I am available to provide you with before and after school care for school aged children ages 6-12. M-F with drop offs by 7 a.m. and pick ups by 6 p.m. 10% family discount for each additional child in my care. I am an at home mother of two children. I have a 20 year old daughter who attends a community college and a 17 year old son who attends HS as a senior. I also have 7 nieces and nephews. Formerly as a full-time working mother, I am all too familiar with the needs of child care. I found comfort in a private day care provider who gave my children a comfortable place to be during the hours before and after school and during early dismissals. I have unfortunately experienced the cons of other day care services that I found to be run mostly by teenagers. I was more comfortable with a private provider knowing that my children were safe and cared for in a home environment. I have a lovely home located in Blooming Grove bordering Monroe and Chester, conveniently located 1/2 mile from each Rt 17, Rt 17M, Rt 94 and Rt 208. I am in the Monroe Woodbury School District and my street is on a bus route. I have plenty of room for your children to relax, stretch their legs, play basket ball or start their homework while they're in my care.

Child care
Our philosophy is to provide a safe, loving environment to all children within our community. Our program implements hands-on activities to provide maximum growth potential in the areas of physical, intellectual, social and emotional development. We believe in caring for and educating the whole child. We accomplish this by providing a nurturing environment, which promotes the emotional stability, social acceptance, physical well-being, and intellectual growth of each child. Our team of teachers is made up of dedicated early childhood educators. We use our professional skills to evaluate and foster the needs of the group, as well as those of the individual child. We believe that the staff person makes the difference - not the building, equipment, materials or class size. All of our classrooms are designed for each child to explore all the things that interest them while they meet their developmental milestones and needs. In particular, our Pre-K room prepares the child for their Kindergarten year. Pre-Kindergarteners are developing the knowledge and skills required for entrance to Kindergarten. Blooming Grove Day Care Center provides a safe, and loving home away from home. We provide breakfast, lunch and snack with flexible hours!
