I am a professional pre-k teacher with 20 years experience. I have opened My Imagination in-home day care because a small group setting provides more one on one time. Doesn't your child deserve that? I am accepting ages 6 months to 5 years. A monthly age appropriate curriculum will be followed in a fun and nurturing environment. We will be learning numbers, colors, letters, songs, working on fine and gross motor skills daily. I have both indoor play and outdoor play in a fenced-in yard. I hope to instill in every child that learning is fun and to use their imagination in everything they do. Snacks are provided. We are accessible to all major roadways (Garden State Pkwy, NJ Turnpike, Rte. 35 & 27). Hours of operation: Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. We offer reasonable rates.

Audrey's At Home Daycare

255 English Place Basking Ridge, NJ

My name is Audrey. I'm a mother to a smiley toddler. I was struggling with the idea of putting my daughter into a "daycare" 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.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Dunellen, NJ

Drop-in daycare near you in Dunellen, 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 Dunellen, 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 Dunellen, 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 Dunellen, NJ, it is important to make sure that you are bringing all of the necessary items for a successful and enjoyable experience.
