< 1 mi

I have run an at-home daycare within my own home, for the past five years. I have a Masters degree in Education, and use this to provide not only a caring, safe environment, but also an educational one! I love to be outdoors, read, do arts &amp; crafts and help with homework. Prior to offering childcare in my home, I was a nanny/babysitter for over 5 years for children ranging in ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. Once I had my own children (ages 2 and 5) I started offering daycare within my home, and have created a preschool-like environment where babies and children are lovingly cared for, and are exposed to both social and learning experiences. I am CPR certified, and offer full-time, part-time or summer care hours!

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. Infants/Waddlers Our Nursery provides babies with the opportunity to explore with age appropriate toys and materials in a healthy, warm and loving environment. 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. In short, a place to which they want to come back each day, because it's theirs.

Our teachers incorporates into the curriculum four of most important developmental areas for this age group: Social, Emotional, Cognitive and Physical growth.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Middlesex, NJ

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Middlesex, NJ. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Middlesex, NJ for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Middlesex, NJ, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Middlesex, NJ.

When looking for a preschool near you in Middlesex, NJ on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
