Early childhood education based on the Montessori method had gained recognition as a very efficient method to provide a firm base for the development of young children. As a result, the cost of early childhood education based on the Montessori method has always been very high. This Montessori schools are almost beyond reach of families with medium or lesser levels of income. Meadows Montessori was formed to make the door of Montessori open to almost every child.

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!

In-Home daycare
Sophia's Sandcastle Daycare is a home away from home. Children are loved and supported from infancy to elementary age. The daycare is located on the bottom half of a high ranch, with a huge backyard. The children go outside everyday and summertime all day with sprinklers and water tables. FUN is what the Sandcastle specializes in. Through play the children learn to share and care! Play is done with many different toys. We have a play kitchen inside and outside. While inside the kids use many different types of blocks, both wooden and plastic, large and small to develop all those skills. Dress up clothes are in abundance! The children love to be anything their hearts can imagine! Circle time is done every day, an opportunity for the kids to have a blast. We encourage the kids to touch and feel different objects and things that begin with the letter of the week. During Circle time we sing favorite songs and learn new ones all while using Alexa. Alexa is used throughout the day to transition into different activities. Music and movement is another fun time. The kids sing along all while using the music instruments of their choice. Colorful scarves are used to enhance movement and dancing. Arts and crafts are done daily. The craft centers around the letter of the week, allowing the children to bring home something they can continue to learn from and certainly be proud of! Holidays are celebrated at the Sandcastle in a big way through beautiful inside decorations, parties, presents, and parent involvement. We have an open door policy and parents are always welcome. The daycare has a designated breastfeeding area for those mommies that would like to feed their babies on-site. A small list of learning materials on hand, blocks, little people and their houses, dress up clothes, cars both big and small, blocks both big and small, tunnels, sand boxes for indoor exploration, play dough, doctor kits, dolls, barbies, bristles, tiles, dinosaurs, books, a large rowboat, and puzzles just to name a few. Different toys work on different skills. The Sandcastle participates with the NY state food program and as such we serve what is called a picky plate. A protein, starch, vegetable, fruit and milk each meal. Encouraging children to try new foods and continue with one's already loved!
