The Sunflower Patch

Welcome to The Sunflower Patch Home Daycare! I am currently enrolling children, ages 6 weeks through 5 years (Pre-K). My goal is to provide a safe and happy place for your child to grow and develop while in my care. I focus on their emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development. I believe that parents and a caregiver should be partners, working together to meet each child's individual needs. About the Program and Curriculum: Each week we focus on a theme, and planned activities include circle time, arts and crafts projects, songs and finger plays, language development, sensory play, math skills, science exploration, story time and more! We go outside in the morning and afternoon, weather permitting, to play in our fenced-in yard. We have a variety of age-appropriate toys available both indoors and out. The daycare room is arranged into learning centers, such as dramatic play, blocks, art, language, a train table, etc. A morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack are provided for children eating table foods. Hours and Tuition Fees: I am open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuition for full-time enrollment if $250 per week or $60 per day for part-time. If you need early care (before 7:30 a.m.) or extended care (after 5:30 p.m.), it can be prearranged at the rate of $10 per hour. About myself: -I am the mother of two young children. -I have over 15 years of professional experience in childcare and education. -I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Instruction and Curriculum. -I am a NJ certified elementary school teacher. Please contact me for more information and to arrange a visit. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how I can help meet your family's childcare needs.
