I am a fun loving preschool teacher providing babysitting in my home during the summer. I am the Head Teacher in the Three Year Old Program at a local, very prestigious preschool. I have also worked as a nanny in both London and New York. I am college educated and provide a Montessori-type approach to my child care. I believe that children thrive best when in a safe, loving environment where the focus is on learning through fun, daily activities. My practice is small (never more than 4 kids at a time) and I am able to give your child the attention that he / she deserves. My rates are reasonable and I'm very flexible.

I am a Princeton University Alumna with a degree in Cultural Anthropology and extensive coursework and training in early childhood development. I am the former owner of the legendary Tiger Hall Play Zone which used to be on 206 in the plaza with Mayflower Cleaners. It was a funky preschool and play center hybrid. The page is still active and it gives you an idea about the former spirit of that well loved place. I sold it in the fall of 2013 in order to work on some bigger ventures outside of NJ. Unfortunately, the new owners went out of business shortly after the sale... I now own a larger center in Upstate New York called The Polka Dot Place. It is in a commercial strip mall and licensed for 38 children. I manage it from afar. The pitfall of owning such a large center that is so far away is that I am no longer interacting with children on a daily basis which has always been my passion. My eldest daughter grew up in Tiger Hall for 7 years. All of her best friends are former Tiger Hallers because they grew up together side by side. We went on field trips nearly every day, and like Ms. Frizzle and her gang from The Magic School bus we had a whole lot of hands on fun (and a pet lizard too!). I am hoping to form another tiny pod of children that can stick together from infancy/toddlerdom up to or even beyond Kindergarten (I also homeschool and provide homeschooling services). I have several references from reputable and even celebrity clientele. I offer a top notch service with a focus on the whole child and with a unique focus on personal responsibility and civility. Here are some of the highlights of the program that I am going to provide: Curriculum Based Organic/All-Natural Menu Hands-On Adventures at least twice per week Music, Art and Dance Enrichment Early Literacy Expertise Heavy Focus on Civility and Personal Responsibility Heavy Involvement in Events/Storytimes/Activities in Town Heavy Involvement in Princeton University Campus Activities Daily Schedule Dedicated Playroom Six Passenger Stroller In Town Location Personalized Care and Learning Opening January 15th 2018 Enrolling Ages 12 - 24 months (ideally) One spot currently occupied by my child born on 11/10/16 One spot occupied by a child born on 1/18/17 Cost: $345 per week Refundable Deposit to hold a spot (applied to 1st two weeks of care): $690

Early childhood education at a high quality preschool offers many benefits that can help your child achieve more in school and in life - and be more confident as well. No matter what a child's background may be, attending a preschool with a well-developed program can help him or her go further. Studies have shown that even at-risk children are less likely to drop out of high school if they received a high quality preschool education. With such long-lasting benefits, we believe in the efficacy of early childhood education - and we keep up with the latest teaching methods and developments in our field.

About myself: I am a 23 year old, military veteran who loves children and a fulltime in aunt living in the home of my older brother who is still in the Air Force, his wife and two wonderful boys. I have plenty of experience with children from infants to adolescents and teenagers. I am patient, loving, caring, and I speak two other languages other than English. Both include Spanish and Portuguese. I have a dog small dog at home who loves children and is great with them. He is calm and patient much like me. What I offer: Great baby sitting service with a family feel in a warm, inviting home. Every child that steps through my door will be treated as if they were my own. I offer basic preschool knowledge for the children under the ages 4, and will help the older children with home work if needed. I will provide food for children for an extra 10 dollars a week. All meals will be healthy meals so that is why the list of allergies especially to food is important. What I ask for: All I ask from parents are the following: All basic necessities for children including food/baby formula/clothing/medications/disposable diapers are in a labeled bag for the child when they get here. A full list of allergies and allergy triggers that is to include allergies to: Food and laundry detergent, soap, pets, certain fabrics etc. At least two emergency contacts and family doctor number. For emergency contract please provide: Name, cell phone or house number and work number. For children that will be bringing their own food please bring labeled containers and anything the child will need for special diets. For parents who use cloth diapers please bring disposable diapers for your children. Reason being is because I have no experience with cloth diapers and I do not want to cause your child discomfort if I do not put the diaper on correctly or cause rash or infection to the child. This is for the well being of your child while in my home. Skills: First aid training and some CPR knowledge due to military training Prior military service and training Some early childhood development training from courses taken during high school. Some Psychology classes Cooking and some teaching experience from prior baby sitting services as a teenager. for any other details please contact me on my cell phone at: (305) 772-8972, or email me at: quintessence_03262011@yahoo.com I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful children.

I have worked in all forms of childcare. I did babysitting as a teenager and in college. I worked and volunteered in Daycare Facilities. I was a summer Nanny during breaks. I realized I loved being a nanny and decided in 1991 to go to the English Nanny and Governess School. After graduating, I embarked on a wonderful adventure and career as a live-in Nanny. Then later achieving honorary Governess status because of my excellence in my field, I retired in 2000 to become a Stay at Home mom to my first son. Two sons later I am ready to start a new chapter in my life. I come from a family of nine kids and my parents we were a foster family with over 200 children being loved in our family. From this I learned to be comfortable with lots of children To be caring and giving and to be open to others' styles and feelings. As a nanny and a caregiver I feel that childcare should mold itself to the child not the other way around I am a great supporter of Attachment Parenting but I can adapt to your parenting style as I did as a nanny. I believe that Education is from Birth, just like I was taught at school. I provide an educationally rich environment that allows each child to grow at their own pace. I am very consistent with rules and my guidance of the children in my care. I have often been described as "Loving but stern" Your children will be given the same love and care my children receive.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Princeton Junction, NJ

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