I have several years' experience of child care (raising my two boys, ages 16 and 12), babysitting at the YMCA, babysitting out of my house, and working at a nursery school for the last 6 years as a co-teacher, a computer teacher and a music teacher. I love kids and feel I have a really good sense of how to deal with them. I like to keep them busy and are very conscious of their diets/nutrition. Also, during my college years, I worked summers at a YMCA day camp in PA. And for about two years, I've taught Sunday school to preschoolers in Randolph, NJ Re: cost... $14/hour and possibly negotiable.

A high quality neighborhood PRESCHOOL with a focus on Islamic identity. As a center, our emphasis is on community. We need to work together to help learning continue. The importance of working together extends between school and home. Teachers, staff and parents must communicate and share ideas so the child’s interests are best met. By pairing teacher and parent, we can help your child acquire the skills, attitudes, and habits to do well in school and in life. There are twelve main areas from which learning emerges. Through these topics, we can build off what children know to explore and comprehend the unknown. - Belief in and consciousness of God (Allah SWT) and his prophets is the foundation for a strong moral character and Islamic identity. We develop this through read-alouds, learning short du’as, and short surahs. - A rich intentional environment is essential in promoting curiosity and imaginative play. Our materials in the classroom are age appropriate and chosen intentionally to encourage open-ended play. - A safe and nurturing environment is foundation to learning. Our teachers and staff guide the children through conflicts and interactions with their classmates, teaching them to identify big emotions and strategies to deal with them. - The love for learning starts with introduction to new concepts and encouragement of curiosity. We build language and literacy skills through sounds and words, books and stories, and writing. - We discover mathematical relationships through number and size, patterns, objects, and shapes. - Learning through play experiences and by imitating and pretending builds imagination, promotes social skills and helps children gain a better understanding of daily experiences. - Creating with art by using different materials and exploring what they can do with them is fascinating to children. They are less interested in making a product. - Tasting and preparing food promotes thinking, and social and fine motor skills. - Exploring sand and water is funs because it's a natural part of everyday life. It becomes a special activity when toys are added to it to explore. Sand play leads to discoveries, develops fine motor skills and promotes pretending as children create things like sand castles. - Readiness skills are an important pre-requisite to academic learning. Individual and small group activities, and pretend play are used to develop these skills. - Learn to think and make choices - Listen and follow directions through activities. - Learning to problem solving skills - Concentration skills - Building fine motor skills - Building gross motor skills

Hello Parents, I am a 35 year old female, mother of three. I have my BA in Psychology with a specialization in Children and Adolescent. I have my BLS certification which entails first aid, CPR, blood born pathogens and Cognitive AED. For the past 8 years, I have been running an in home daycare. I have excellent references. . The entire lower level is set-up for the children. The space includes a main room, two bedrooms and a full bath. I have an outstanding group of families whom I have been working with long term. I run things very similar to a preschool providing a combination of a school and home like setting. A typical day includes ABC's, numbers, days of the week, shapes/colors, etc. We enjoy reading stories, playing dress-up,play-doh, and of course if the weather is nice, we are outside. I strive to not only provide an educational atmosphere but also a respectful environment. I emphasize great importance on the idea of cleanliness, kindness, and friendship (Please and thank you go a long way). The children who currently attend have built lifelong friendships as have I with their parents. Please contact me with rates and availability. I do offer sibling discounts as well as nights and weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Morris Plains, NJ

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Morris Plains, 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.

You can also check your options in Morris Plains, NJ for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Morris Plains, 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 Morris Plains, NJ.
