My name is Audrey. I'm a mother to a smiley toddler. I was struggling with the idea of putting my daughter into a &quot;daycare&quot; environment because I feared she would be lost in the crowd. I ended up giving up my job in the education field, where I worked with Pre-K level students. I'm currently a Stay-At-Home mom and looking to find a family who is in need of daycare, but would prefer a more individualized, nurturing and comforting place for their little one. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and finding out if we are the right match for one another. My home offers a loving, attentive, and safe environment where your child will be well taken care of throughout the day. I offer the comfort in knowing you child will be nurtured and cared for allowing you to focus during your daily responsibilities. Small ratio of children 1:2 max. For additional information please contact Audrey at aspronz@gmail.com.

The Tree House Child Caring Center

1 East Oak Street Basking Ridge, NJ

< 1 mi

Founded in 1982 by the Education Council of the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church, The Tree House preschool in Basking Ridge is proud to offer an enriching curriculum and extended care that focuses on developing confidence, independence and social skills in 2 to 5 year olds. The Tree House curriculum is built upon the philosophy that children learn best by doing. Our curriculum is carefully balanced to meet the needs of each child in an age-appropriate environment encompassing the various areas of your child's growth. While the program provides a rich learning experience, the primary goal is the total development of the child provided by a highly professional staff in a loving and caring environment. Our experienced staff guides and encourages children through carefully planned activities that allow them to develop at their own ideal rate. Our small class sizes help foster educational and social development in a setting where the children feel safe to learn and grow. We strive to develop self-assured children and to teach them the skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. The foundations we set today will form the foundation for their academic learning in years to come. The Tree House is open for half day or full daycare. Our half day preschool program (ages 2 to 5) runs from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Our full day program (ages 2 1/2 to 5) runs from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Extra hours are also available. Though it is a nonprofit service provided to the community by Presbyterian Church, the Tree House welcomes all children -- regardless of religious beliefs or affiliation.

I have run an at-home daycare within my own home, for the past five years. I have a Masters degree in Education, and use this to provide not only a caring, safe environment, but also an educational one! I love to be outdoors, read, do arts &amp; crafts and help with homework. Prior to offering childcare in my home, I was a nanny/babysitter for over 5 years for children ranging in ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. Once I had my own children (ages 2 and 5) I started offering daycare within my home, and have created a preschool-like environment where babies and children are lovingly cared for, and are exposed to both social and learning experiences. I am CPR certified, and offer full-time, part-time or summer care hours!

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Basking Ridge, NJ

Drop-in daycare near you in Basking Ridge, NJ can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs. This kind of drop-in service can help to reduce stress associated with arranging more traditional, longer-term child care options.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Basking Ridge, NJ, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Basking Ridge, NJ may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit. This convenience makes drop-in daycare an ideal option for those with unpredictable schedules or when babysitters aren't available due to illness or other unanticipated events. However, drop-in centers may fill up quickly during peak times, so it's always best to call ahead to ensure the needed availability.

When preparing to drop your child off at drop-in daycare near you in Basking Ridge, NJ, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience. Remember to bring any blankets or stuffed animals that may serve as a comfort item -- this may even include pacifiers or sippy cups if necessary.
