My childcare program, Kids Prep, is a licensed family childcare facility in my home in Edison, NJ. I am an experienced, early childhood certified teacher. I offer a cradle to kindergarten program, with a comprehensive preschool curriculum. I accept no more than 5 children at one time, so each child in my care receives individualized nurturing, teaching and TLC. By having one caregiver, each child develops security and confidence as he develops a bond of friendship with both myself and the playmates in my residential setting. I can offer your child a wonderful mix of structure and flexibility, creativity, indoor and outdoor play areas, and a chance to develop to his fullest potential. You will have the knowledge that your child is being taught by a qualified teacher, who is at your disposal at all times. There is no middleman. I will love and cherish your child right into kindergarten.
Educational classes provided for children from age group 2.5 years to 6 years on weekdays. Weekends dedicated for tutoring mathematics to students from Kindergarten to 10th grade. All services are provided from home in North Edison 08820, right next to Menlo Park Elementary School. Large fenced in back yard for children of all ages. Full time childcare services are also provided. Each week we teach a new curriculum to the children that includes a weekly theme, vocabulary word, shape and color, letter, number, reading, writing, nursery rhyme, and most important is the moral science class that is conducted with a story which ends with a lesson to be learned. Arts and crafts, workbooks, and puzzles are also a part of the daily activity. Please give a call or drop a line to see if there are days that work for you.

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

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.
