Our home has a brand new playroom with a beautiful view of the garden. Large windows help us be a part of the outside even on cold winter days. The new playroom is for younger children birth through 3 years old. We also have another playroom for older children ages 4 to 10. We have a reference library and appropriate books for all ages and all subjects. We are understanding of parents who experience traffic problems. The cost per day covers 7:15 am - 6:15 pm. After 6:15 pm, there will be an additional charge per hour. Our outside play yard is pictured. We have bikes for all ages, toy cars to ride, two castles, and a log cabin. For the older children, we have skates, a play house (pictured) and all types of materials for arts and crafts. I taught and studied arts and crafts most of my life. In the summer we have 2 pools, one for small children and one for the older children. We take walks to the park and can drive children to school and pick-up from school or after-school programs. We serve breakfast - you bring lunch - we will prepare anything if you don't have the time. Additional cost for lunch and dinner.

Our program is designed to develop a young mind, foster curiosity, connect with community, provide support as a family and help each child discover their unique identity. We aid in the transition from home to a school setting. This is accomplished through welcome emails, orientations, parent – teacher introductions and opportunities to explore the center prior to their first day. Our primary focus is to ensure the children are comfortable in their classrooms as teachers build a strong bond with each student. Our goal is to expose students to different cultures, backgrounds and real-life experiences. A priority of the program is to make sure that the families are comfortable with the staff and know that their child is in a safe and secure setting through an open line of communication. Families are encouraged to partake in their child’s learning through participation in events and provide feedback. We acknowledge the bilingual needs of the families within our community and therefore provide bilingual staff for both parents and students. Our program is unique as we are bilingual in every classroom to meet the needs of our English language learners. We created a customized curriculum using a multisensory approach to target kinesthetic, visual and auditory learners. We incorporated a music program as an introduction to theater and basic dance. The use of technology creates a pathway for students to learn through engaging, interactive software across all content areas. We have our own private playground which children utilize twice a day, weather permitting. We provide the children with three home cooked meals each day and encourage healthy eating habits.

Little Meadow adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Child Day Care, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives. At Little Meadow we believe that children learn the most while having fun, experiencing the curriculum directly and learning about topics that interest and motivate them individually. We emphasize learning through purposeful play. This includes: building with blocks, dressing up, artistic endeavors, experimenting at the sensory table and exploring the natural world. Little Meadow also encourages learning practical and academic skills through the use of Montessori materials such as working with sandpaper letters and numbers, color mixing, hammering, pouring water, setting the table for snack-time and many more. Weather permitting, outdoor play is an essential part of a child's experience. Children climb, pedal tricycles, play hide and seek, write on chalk-boards or paint at an easel.

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.

Building core concepts skills at a young age is essential. With studies showing that about one third of children's intellectual skills will be developed by age six, it is important to increase your young child's exposure to a variety of experiences. Our preschool classes do just that. We also employ gradual separation techniques to prepare children for school.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Port Reading, NJ

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Port Reading, 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 Port Reading, NJ for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Port Reading, 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 Port Reading, NJ.
