I will care for your child(ren) in my Hopatcong home. I am located two blocks from a school bus stop for Hudson Maxim (first grade and p.m. Kindergarten), Tulsa Trail and Durban Ave Schools. I provide before and after school care, school vacation, early dismissal and school closure care as well as FT and PT care.

I have a spacious yard for outdoor fun weather permitting. I am a mom to 5 beautiful children ages 4 through 19 two of which are special needs. Prior to having my own children I was a live-in Nanny to a family with two children (at the time). Over the years I have done occasional care for various families.

A high quality neighborhood PRESCHOOL with a focus on Islamic identity. As a center, our emphasis is on community. We need to work together to help learning continue. The importance of working together extends between school and home. Teachers, staff and parents must communicate and share ideas so the child’s interests are best met. By pairing teacher and parent, we can help your child acquire the skills, attitudes, and habits to do well in school and in life. There are twelve main areas from which learning emerges. Through these topics, we can build off what children know to explore and comprehend the unknown. - Belief in and consciousness of God (Allah SWT) and his prophets is the foundation for a strong moral character and Islamic identity. We develop this through read-alouds, learning short du’as, and short surahs. - A rich intentional environment is essential in promoting curiosity and imaginative play. Our materials in the classroom are age appropriate and chosen intentionally to encourage open-ended play. - A safe and nurturing environment is foundation to learning. Our teachers and staff guide the children through conflicts and interactions with their classmates, teaching them to identify big emotions and strategies to deal with them. - The love for learning starts with introduction to new concepts and encouragement of curiosity. We build language and literacy skills through sounds and words, books and stories, and writing. - We discover mathematical relationships through number and size, patterns, objects, and shapes. - Learning through play experiences and by imitating and pretending builds imagination, promotes social skills and helps children gain a better understanding of daily experiences. - Creating with art by using different materials and exploring what they can do with them is fascinating to children. They are less interested in making a product. - Tasting and preparing food promotes thinking, and social and fine motor skills. - Exploring sand and water is funs because it's a natural part of everyday life. It becomes a special activity when toys are added to it to explore. Sand play leads to discoveries, develops fine motor skills and promotes pretending as children create things like sand castles. - Readiness skills are an important pre-requisite to academic learning. Individual and small group activities, and pretend play are used to develop these skills. - Learn to think and make choices - Listen and follow directions through activities. - Learning to problem solving skills - Concentration skills - Building fine motor skills - Building gross motor skills

After 10+ years of being a full time nanny and running an in-home daycare, I am now looking for a position with fewer hours so I can also devote more time to my family. Knowing that each child in my care is treated with the love and attention they deserve is very important to me. We spend our days reading, doing age-appropriate crafts and activities, music time, playing outside, and having fun learning through play. My home is in a wonderful neighborhood, but I am also open to babysitting in your home. I am a mom of 3 - my two older children are in school during my available hours, and my toddler is with me all day. I look forward to finding the perfect family to work for!
