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.

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

These days Kindergarten demands a lot from children. When a child leaves our program, they will be more than academically ready especially if they complete Kindergarten with us. The Peace Rose Montessori School is a non-traditional pre-school to Kindergarten program that provides a nurturing and respectful academic environment. Our classroom features mixed ages from 3-6. Leadership skills are fostered in our older friends, while the younger ones look up to and learn from them. Eventually those younger children become the classroom leaders and the effect on their confidence is a beautiful experience for the child, the parents and his/her teachers. The children learn math and language while also acquiring life skills such as: grace and courtesy, socializing with older and/or younger peers, and caring for their environment. They also learn about other academic subjects like geography, biology, and zoology to name a few. Being a part of the Peace Rose Family means you are working with a team whose goal is to bring out the best in your child. This is certainly not a daycare. We have a very detailed curriculum. Each child learns at his or her own pace and lessons are based on ability not age. Serving Sayreville, Parlin, Old Bridge, Fords, Matawan, Manalapan, Marlboro, East Brunswick, South River...We are well worth the commute!
