Our in home care focuses on the specific needs that allow children to explore, learn and make choices. Since children are motivated when exercising their imagination and creativity, we explore activities that allow each child to develop into unique creative thinkers. We encourage and practice newly learned skills while giving children time to also socialize; we explore the arts, sciences, and how to just be kids.

I am a South Amboy Mom, experienced child caregiver and pre-K teacher taking care of children in my home for over 20 years. In-home providers are exempt from licensing in New Jersey, but I have the same curriculum as other daycares. It all begins in my nursery/playroom where your child will start their journey of growth and discovery from tummy time to crawling and beyond. I offer lots of toys for each developmental stage, books, daily arts and crafts, learning activities for all ages, personal and individual attention (which is so important in the early ages), pre-K3 until 1st Grade preparedness and a big yard for outside play. I provide a caring, safe and clean environment in a home-like setting. We bake cookies, pizzas e.g. on special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Parents receive memorable pictures throughout the year. Daily circle time includes learning of colors, shapes, numbers and letters just to name a few. Starting at age 3, I give one-on-one teaching beginning with pencil control and tracing, then tracing letters and numbers until First Grade level. I have very reasonable rates and excellent references! (H) 732-553-9443 (C) 732-857-5995

My family day care is a warm, happy and loving environment. I have been providing day care for children in my home since 1990, so I have a strong understanding of what children and parents need. I am also a mother of 2 daughters, ages 29 and 32, and a grandmother of 2 beautiful grandchildren. For these 24 years, I have had only happy clients, most of who continue on as friends long after day care services are complete. I look forward to Halloween and the Holidays when many of my previous families stop by to visit! I love to see how the children from my daycare have grown. My home is located on a quiet and safe cul-de-sac in the heart of East Brunswick, NJ, perfect for walks, stroller rides and bike rides which we go on often. I also have a spacious backyard with a patio, sandbox, small Barbie playhouse and swing set. My home is designed around my daycare, so I have designated rooms and spaces for play time, nap time, creative arts time and meal times. I value healthy meals, physical activities, creative arts, and educational activities, and I integrate these aspects into the day-to-day activities of my daycare. My home is inspected every three years by a NJ State inspector, arranged through my parent organization, Community Child Care Solutions (http://www.communitychildcaresolutions.org). This organization is also where I earn my daycare educational credits through courses that I attend on a regular basis on topics like nutrition, safety and emergency care, child development in the areas of physical and mental health, and engaging activities for children ages newborn-5. I am CPR certified and have been trained in first aid and I am a NJ State registered family childcare provider. I work with children ages newborn - 5, and I have had up to 5 children at my daycare at one time. Recently, I've had on average 3 children at a time. I prefer this so that I can tailor my care to the children's individual needs. My daycare is open Monday-Friday from 7:30-5:30. My fee is $200 per week. If you're considering my family daycare for your child, I am happy to provide referrals to you from previous families that I have worked with. I would also be happy to arrange a meeting where you could come meet me and see my home. I understand how important of a decision this is, so I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Warmly, Rita
