Our home has a brand new playroom with a beautiful view of the garden. Large windows help us be a part of the outside even on cold winter days. The new playroom is for younger children birth through 3 years old. We also have another playroom for older children ages 4 to 10. We have a reference library and appropriate books for all ages and all subjects. We are understanding of parents who experience traffic problems. The cost per day covers 7:15 am - 6:15 pm. After 6:15 pm, there will be an additional charge per hour. Our outside play yard is pictured. We have bikes for all ages, toy cars to ride, two castles, and a log cabin. For the older children, we have skates, a play house (pictured) and all types of materials for arts and crafts. I taught and studied arts and crafts most of my life. In the summer we have 2 pools, one for small children and one for the older children. We take walks to the park and can drive children to school and pick-up from school or after-school programs. We serve breakfast - you bring lunch - we will prepare anything if you don't have the time. Additional cost for lunch and dinner.

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

Nicole P. says "We have been beyond happy with the care that our daughter receives at Tutor Time! In short, we cannot recommend Tutor Time highly enough. More specifics:...

Hello! I have a Master's degree in Education Counseling and many years of experience working with children. I try to keep my family childcare small as I focus on different activities during the day and want to be able to offer high quality care for your little one. We often have trips to the local zoo, libraries and parks. We have a wonderful swing set in our backyard, we have a bouncy house/jumper for the older kids, and all kinds of water fun during the hot summer days. I am a stay-at-home mom in Clark, New Jersey to my 5-year-old son and a 2 year old girl. My son will be attending kindergarten in September, so it will mostly be my daughter and I at home. I have very high expectations of childcare and therefore I myself decided to stay home with our kids. However, in order to stay on top of my professional career, I do work part-time as a psychotherapist in Cranford. My childcare is typically for families with flexible schedules or looking for part-time care. I speak fluent Polish!!! Cost is typically $10-$12 an hour. All Clark residents welcome. I'm only minutes away from Valley Road school. We also have a cat and a dog.

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 have been teaching for 10 years and finally I decided to open my own childcare business. I take pride and passion in what I do. Teaching children has been my dream since I was a toddler myself. My vision is to help my community . So many day cares cost just as much as a car note or a mortgage &amp; I want to help my community to afford childcare. I made my prices affordable to the average working parent . We all have children and bills to pay. Why not help each other by lessening one of those bills while also providing a safe loving place for your child to learn and grow

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

Drop-in daycare near you in Vauxhall, 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 Vauxhall, 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 Vauxhall, 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 Vauxhall, 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. It is also important to remember snacks and drinks, so your child stays well fed throughout their stay. Don't forget essentials like diapers, wipes, and changes of clothing!
