For our Kindergarten program we use an internationally acclaimed phonics program paired with sight word practice to have students reading and writing in no time. Our elementary program focuses on reading comprehension, grammar, and writing. Each month, the students will work through a reading study, have grammar lessons, and do various writings that follow the writing process. We also will be offering PARCC test preparation for grades 3-5 starting in January. Our teacher is a K-6 certified teacher and has been teaching English and Early childhood for the past 5 year overseas and in the states. She seeks to engage and challenge students in the class in a comfortable setting where learning can flourish.

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.

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.
