Welcome! I am offering affordable in-home childcare out of my Honey Brook home. I am a mother to a three year old son and we are looking forward to adding children to our care. I offer daily or weekly rates and welcome children as young as 6 weeks old and as old as Pre-K. I do offer a sibling discount, and I do not charge for days that you are not in need of care (spring break/winter break/ snow days). I have ample space inside and out for playing, I plan daily activities and crafts, and we go on at least one adventure a week year round! I have gained my experience through my education, as well as from nannying full time, working at daycare centers, and having my own in home center when we were stationed in Hawaii. My goal in providing care is to give your child a home away from home, and to have fun with other kids around their age. Inside you will find a play room on the first floor with our go to favorites including legos duplos, magnetic tiles, a play kitchen and cars and trucks. In our finished basement you will find ample space to run and play, lots of trains, a mini roller coaster, a climbing structure with slide and even a moon bounce! Outside we have a fully fenced in yard with room to run and play- on warn days we will get to play in sprinklers and water tables. Each week we will have at least one adventure. Our go to in the late spring, summer and fall is Cherry Crest Adventure Farm. Other adventures include a local mini pony farm, Urban Air, bowling, local parks, Dutch Wonderland, Sesame Place, Diggerland, Elmwood Park Zoo, libraries offering story time and The Please Touch Museum.
