Hi, my name is Stephanie. I've always loved being involved with children. Once I had my own daughter, I knew I couldn't miss a day with her and decided to offer my services to local families who are looking for that &quot;at home&quot; environment for their children. It has been a wonderful success and very rewarding with the friends/family we have made over the last seven years. Unfortunately, kids grow up and start school (sigh) and leave openings for new friends to join (yay). I wanted to use this opportunity to lend my services first and foremost to neighboring families as having your child's daycare that close to home is not only convenient but lends a feeling of security to the parents as well. Rather than ramble about my background or try and squeeze all the details of what I offer, just take a moment if you are interested and view my website as listed with this ad. It will give you &quot;about me&quot;, &quot;daily activities&quot; and &quot;rates and services&quot;. Feel free to forgo all that and just give me a call or email as well. I gladly welcome anyone that wants to visit and check things out as I know providing a safe and loving place for you child is a number one priority. References available upon request. Thank you, Stephanie B.

I m looking to welcome (3) children into my home for 30-50 hours a week at $10-$12 an hour. Ages welcomed are 2-6, (children who are not yet in school and have full days in need of care) Highlights of my Home Care: Child-Led Learning Letting the child being the initiator of their learning. I will have focused attention towards your child s interests, passions, and unique learning style and will be making strong efforts to bring any resources available to your child to facilitate their learning. And have fun doing so! I want to nurture and celebrate their natural sense of joy, wonder and belief in their own limitless potential. Emotional Support and Nurturance The most important aspect of childcare is connecting and meeting the emotional needs of children. I will create an environment for your child that allows them to be heard and express themselves freely without judgement. When they feel emotionally satisfied is when they are truly able to thrive and learn. Organic, Healthy, and Kid-Friendly Lunch and Snacks When it comes to picky eaters I know what I m dealing with. Children do not like to feel controlled when it comes to their diet, that s why I will take initiative in getting the children (even the very young ones) involved in the process. An example would be taking them to the farmers market and letting them pick the veggie that they would like to help me prepare, or finding ways to turn their favorite meals healthy with the best quality ingredients. Allowing choices helps children to feel included and empowered to eat healthy. *All included in the cost Weekly Fieldtrips As fulfilling as the indoor projects and playing will be, there s nothing quite like exploring! We will go on weekly outings to stimulate your child s mind and get natural sunlight. I am located right next to Cloverly Park, the Wissahickon River & Trails, The Zoo, The Touch It Children s Museum, and the Farmers Market. *All included in the cost Discipline - What sets me apart from most nannies is my way of dealing with negative behaviors. I believe in setting limits using gentle guidance instead of punitive punishments. I will never shame your child or give them time outs because I have a deep understanding that a child s bad behavior is simply them acting out a need that they are unable to communicate. Instead I will investigate the ro

Hi! I am Leidy and I take great pride in providing safe, reliable loving care for children in my fun in-home daycare. In-home daycare setting provides little ones with a setting they are comfortable in, feel secure and allows their personality to flourish. Children are fed nutritionally balanced meals mostly home cooked. They even get to participate in meal preps on occasion! MAKE YOUR OWN PIZZA DAY IS A HIT! At Leidybug's we spend our day learning through play. I believe that the best way to teach is to allow children to explore their interest, through engaged play and exposure to thought provoking experiences. We plant seeds, we mix paint colors, we review science experiment books, we have dance parties! *State registered in-home daycare. *Safe, loving, nurturing environment. *Nutritious home cooked meals, fenced in yard for outdoor activities, engaging age appropriate lessons. *Bilingual *Flexible hours and part-time available.

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

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