I offer a Home Away From Home for your child. I am a mom of four myself (ages 15 - 21) and all children I care for become part of our family, even long after I stop caring for them on a regular basis. I have over 30 years experience caring for children other then my own, the last 6 years of which have been full-time. I have glowing references from all parents along the way. My promise to all parents whose children I care for is that I will care for your child as if they were my own; I know no other way. At the end of each day, you will go home with a detailed list of what and when they ate and took naps. My working hours are 8 am - 6 pm; however, I am willing to extend that occasionally for $10/hour, when the need arises. For the last 2 years I have cared full-time for a now 2 year old, and recently welcomed his brother into our group when he was only 8 weeks old. (Note: I also cared for their older brothers, who are now 8 and 6, for 2 years when they were similar ages). The 3rd child I care for is a 2 1/2 year old girl, who comes to me 1 - 3 varying days each week. Therefore, I have 1 - 2 openings. My weekly rates are $275 full-time for infants on bottle/baby food (which you provide) and $300 full-time for toddlers and older (includes breakfast, lunch, snack and all milk). Daily rates are $60 for infants and $65 for toddlers and older (food as detailed above). I will not care for more than 4/5 children at one time, with the exception of a 4 year old who I watch during the school year from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. I look forward to welcoming your child into our Home Away From Home.

Child care
Little Meadow adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Child Day Care, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives. At Little Meadow we believe that children learn the most while having fun, experiencing the curriculum directly and learning about topics that interest and motivate them individually. We emphasize learning through purposeful play. This includes: building with blocks, dressing up, artistic endeavors, experimenting at the sensory table and exploring the natural world. Little Meadow also encourages learning practical and academic skills through the use of Montessori materials such as working with sandpaper letters and numbers, color mixing, hammering, pouring water, setting the table for snack-time and many more. Weather permitting, outdoor play is an essential part of a child's experience. Children climb, pedal tricycles, play hide and seek, write on chalk-boards or paint at an easel.

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.

We are an independent, nonsectarian preschool focusing on creative arts and sciences for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. At Curious Minds, we strive to provide a clean, safe, nurturing and educational environment for young children and their families. Within our care, children develop skills that promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in being supportive of our parents, and we welcome their positive involvement and presence at Curious Minds at all times. We further believe that within our environment, children can thrive and have the opportunity to blossom into responsible and contributing members of our society. We believe when you allow children to experience the thrill of exploration, the excitement of active play, and the confidence and security of a supportive and loving teacher, they discover that fun and learning go hand in hand. When children develop a warm and trusting relationship with teachers, in return children are empowered to believe in themselves. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to nurture and provide a safe and encouraging environment for each child. We recognize that all children have a distinct pattern of development with distinct and differing needs. This is why we offer High Scope Curriculum that will help foster self-learning and decision making in all children. In addition to striving to create an ideal environment for your child, we also have a unique location. The building looks like a luxurious home and parents visiting us love our playground. We are close to the main road and yet located in a secluded place with the kids' playground hidden away from the road and parking lots in a beautifully wooded area. We also allocate resources where it matters most - teachers and educational, nurturing experience. We go an extra mile trying to hire the best teachers available.

I have run an at-home daycare within my own home, for the past five years. I have a Masters degree in Education, and use this to provide not only a caring, safe environment, but also an educational one! I love to be outdoors, read, do arts &amp; crafts and help with homework. Prior to offering childcare in my home, I was a nanny/babysitter for over 5 years for children ranging in ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. Once I had my own children (ages 2 and 5) I started offering daycare within my home, and have created a preschool-like environment where babies and children are lovingly cared for, and are exposed to both social and learning experiences. I am CPR certified, and offer full-time, part-time or summer care hours!
