We create a partnership with our parents to assure both you and your child's needs are met. Our Philosophy is based on three principal goals. These are to help children gain confidence, to impart a strong sense of community and to foster a true love of learning. We provide a warm consistent environment where our children are encouraged to explore, make choices and gain independence. We instill a strong sense of self and a discovery of each child's unique place in the world we live in.

These surroundings along with the caring and loving hands of our teachers help our babies build self confidence, curiosity and enthusiasm which makes their early stages of development that much more joyful! Safety &amp; cleanliness is of top priority! Toddlers Noah's Ark teachers want toddlers to feel comfortable and safe while they explore, inquire, experiment, create, question, and learn. We strive to create an environment where they feel safe to learn and where they are respected, empowered, trusted and listened to.

Mindful Learning Center

526 North Ave., East Westfield, NJ

< 1 mi

The Mindful Learning Center is pleased to announce that they are expanding their doors in September for ages 2-6 yrs who may need educational and behavioral services for their child. Mainly in the State of NJ, Early Intervention is home based and a Preschool/ Kindergarten are 2.5 hrs or a half day programming. We at The Mindful Learning Center want to offer therapies to children who need more but "do not qualify." Having a combination of therapy in the home and/or 2.5 hours a day at their local school district, plus the Mindful Learning Center will give your child the additional therapy teaching in a fun and loving environment. Many parents tell me that their child is doing well but wishes they could get more instruction. That instruction would be ideal in a daycare but there are too many kids in a class... and the concerns go on. Here at the Mindful Learning Center we have a small class size with no more than a 2:1 student/ teacher ratio. Our program is guided by the State Standards for 2-6 yrs. The model of Mindful is Engaged Learning, which encourages the child to self-regulate and be able to define their own learning goals and evaluate their own achievements. They will be able to solve problems, understand, and take the next step in their thinking. They will be able to collaborate when tasks require integrated instruction that incorporates problem-based learning. All is taught in a Naturalistic Teaching Style which consists of behavioral modifications, foster speech/language development and socialization skills. We encourage all children to problem solve and giving the child time to think of their actions helps them become flexible thinkers when interacting with others. The Mindful Learning Center will accept all children and at whatever time they are needed to come between the hours of 8-5 p.m. For example, some children come in at 11:45 and stay till 4 p.m. This allows socialization during eating times, center areas and table top activities. It gives the parent a break, and/or go to work while knowing their child is getting the best quality care in a loving environment while getting additional therapy infused into their school day.

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.
