I am a stay at home mommy with a 1-1/2 year old and a 3-1/2 year old starting pre school three days a week this fall. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a wooded lot which is why my 3-1/2 year old refers to our house as the tree house! I am looking for 2-3 children for full time, part time or before and after school care. We live very close to Old Tappan schools and there is plenty of room in my awesome mommy mobile (2014 Odyssey) for pick ups and drop offs as well as afternoon adventures to the many parks in the area. My kids and I love to make crafts, practice our ABC's, play with our dogs and ride our motorcycles (bikes and big wheels). If you are interested in more information please message me, I would be happy to discuss further details. I look forward to meeting you, and for our little people to meet!

Bambini After School

Bambini After School is customized by Kids-Crew software. Kids-Crew is self-developed software made by a dad with 3 little girls. The Kids Crew System evaluates student achievements and provides mathematics at the appropriate level. Students watch a video of a teacher's lecture and read along with a recommended book too. Then, they solve math problems, and are provided with a one-to-one tutoring method. The teacher can concentrate on teaching what the student does not understand well. We use the Montessori educational method. Montessori education is focused on working with physical materials to understand abstract concepts of math. It was created by Dr. Maria Montessori 100 years ago and now it is one of the most well-known global educational methods. Kids can balance time studying and doing activities. Outdoor playground allows the class to explore nature and joyfully experience seasonal changes. In summer, we play with water in the playground. Kids visit the city library every Friday. They participate in its program, do group reading, and interact with its caring librarians. Throughout the whole year, we can enjoy being in the library. In summer camp, we register kids in Summer Reading Program provided by Ridgefield Park Library, encouraging them to read every day by being rewarded with prizes Arts & Crafts, once every week, kids can learn artistic expression during arts & crafts time. Cooking Time, kids safely cut fruit and make & decorate their after-school snacks.
