I am a Princeton University Alumna with a degree in Cultural Anthropology and extensive coursework and training in early childhood development. I am the former owner of the legendary Tiger Hall Play Zone which used to be on 206 in the plaza with Mayflower Cleaners. It was a funky preschool and play center hybrid. The page is still active and it gives you an idea about the former spirit of that well loved place. I sold it in the fall of 2013 in order to work on some bigger ventures outside of NJ. Unfortunately, the new owners went out of business shortly after the sale... I now own a larger center in Upstate New York called The Polka Dot Place. It is in a commercial strip mall and licensed for 38 children. I manage it from afar. The pitfall of owning such a large center that is so far away is that I am no longer interacting with children on a daily basis which has always been my passion. My eldest daughter grew up in Tiger Hall for 7 years. All of her best friends are former Tiger Hallers because they grew up together side by side. We went on field trips nearly every day, and like Ms. Frizzle and her gang from The Magic School bus we had a whole lot of hands on fun (and a pet lizard too!). I am hoping to form another tiny pod of children that can stick together from infancy/toddlerdom up to or even beyond Kindergarten (I also homeschool and provide homeschooling services). I have several references from reputable and even celebrity clientele. I offer a top notch service with a focus on the whole child and with a unique focus on personal responsibility and civility. Here are some of the highlights of the program that I am going to provide: Curriculum Based Organic/All-Natural Menu Hands-On Adventures at least twice per week Music, Art and Dance Enrichment Early Literacy Expertise Heavy Focus on Civility and Personal Responsibility Heavy Involvement in Events/Storytimes/Activities in Town Heavy Involvement in Princeton University Campus Activities Daily Schedule Dedicated Playroom Six Passenger Stroller In Town Location Personalized Care and Learning Opening January 15th 2018 Enrolling Ages 12 - 24 months (ideally) One spot currently occupied by my child born on 11/10/16 One spot occupied by a child born on 1/18/17 Cost: $345 per week Refundable Deposit to hold a spot (applied to 1st two weeks of care): $690

I offer your child a loving environment in a 1-4 ratio classroom for children, 3 and up. They will prepare for Kindergarten through fun, discovery and adventures while getting individual attention in a home environment school. &quot;Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world&quot;. Nelson Mandela. All curriculum is subject to change...The most effective Curriculum is the one that changes with the interests of the students. My name is Callie and I am your child's teacher. I have taught in other Educational Centers for two and a half years. I am also the owner of Adventure Village Preschool. I have opened this preschool as I have a different approach of teaching our young ones. I believe that 4-6 children in a classroom of three/four year olds is the best environment for our children. This provides the social engagement that a child needs, yet gives the teacher time to spend individual time for your child. I believe that children this age should be the center of their world, to have tons of fun, and to learn to love learning! I feel this can be accomplished by teaching Pre K requirements, and show your child that letters and numbers are in everything we do. To show them that learning is interesting if you take it a step further and explore what you are learning and discover the amazement that life has to offers us through learning. I believe that if we teach our children how to make their learning interesting now, they can apply those skills all through school and in life. Small steps is how learning occurs, the fewer children in the class helps them have more small moments to learn during the day. Every child needs to have individual attention and with four to six children in a classroom it is possible. I enjoy teaching and having fun. I hope you will come and share in the class room any time you feel the need to have fun and laugh. I will make the day with your child full of adventure, love, kindness, and learning.
