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.

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!

Balanced learning for well-rounded children. With a combination of child-initiated activities and teacher-directed learning, our preschool program is a structured learning environment where kids become students who are really excited about learning and ready to grow. With newsletters and constant communication, you can rest easy knowing that you are always informed. Preschool children love to be kept busy with learning activities, even when they don't know they are learning through them. We use intentional teaching in that all our activities are focused on learning one of the basic lessons in our High Reach Curriculum. They also love to stay physically busy so we provide many opportunities through the day for your child to move their body, gain coordination and have carefree fun. Because we meet every child where they are, we work to keep every day interesting, engaging, and different while providing a routine that kids can count on. This daily routine compliments the use of High Reach Curriculum in order to develop fine motor skills, math, science and social skills along with a positive thought process that emphasizes confidence and kindness. We know that a child's social and emotional development is as important as learning to count so have incorporate positive socialization into our activities as well. Our carefully designed lesson plans develop self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence in preparation for kindergarten and beyond, forming your children into the little people they are fast becoming.
