An at-home environment you can trust. Truly a second home for children & families! A place to learn, be nurtured, explore curiosity, grow and thrive in the most natural of settings. Significant research has provided evidence that warm, loving, and home-like settings are natural learning environments for children during early childhood. While offering the safety and comfort of home, and providing a consistent caregiver throughout the years, family child care is the preferred arrangement for many parents. At Nature Nest, our mission is to provide young children, with the foundation for healthy development and outstanding education. It is our belief that by providing children with certain conditions in the environment or experiences, we pave the way for normal cognitive and psychosocial development, therefore preparing them for school and furthermore, life. These conditions are known by researchers as the 6 Developmental Priming Mechanisms and they are as follows: 1-Encouragement to explore. 2-Mentoring in basic cognitive and social skills, such as labeling things, sorting, and comparing. 3-Celebration of their accomplishments. 4-Guidance in practicing and expanding their skills. 5-Protection form inappropriate punishment, testing, or disapproval for mistakes or unintended consequences of exploring and trying out skills. 6-Stimulation of language and other symbolic communication. By being in an environment that consists of these conditions on a regular basis, children will thrive, acquire necessary life skills, and be on a path to becoming outstanding and productive adults.

We are licensed for infants to 13 years. We are very busy year-round offering: Preschool/childcare, school-aged before and after school care with homework help groups, social skills music, and art. Our children are advanced in their skills because of the individualized attention that we provide at our school. We like to think of our services as being provided in a family environment but yet providing the highest standards of education. Our 3-acre campus allows us the freedom to run, ride bikes, play games, and sports, and enjoy nature. Our year-round program is very academic but fun. Our summer program is structured in the sense that we have a morning age-appropriate small motor skill activity, in the early afternoon we will use the sprinkler, in the afternoon a large motor skill activity, and they are again in water play. Our program is unstructured in the sense that we are flexible enough to accommodate the various personalities of our children and able to accommodate their needs at any given moment. We work magic by incorporating educational aspects into all activities so the kids just think they are having fun. Beware that the children who visit and enroll never want to go home. If you are looking for an exceptional summer program, school, daycare, academy than look no further because the Orchard School is the best school around. At the Orchard School the word daycare means that parents are able to utilize our services to meet children's and their needs at any time. Meals are provided at an additional charge for those parents who are interested. We are able to meet family needs full time, part time, and drop in. Our experience is that every moment at the Orchard School has educational value whether it is in math, sciences, arts, basic skills, reading, writing, cognitive development, small and large motor skills, emotional health, physical health, problem-solving, and social skills since our teachers are motivated, educated, and experienced in the art of LIFE, learning, and self-actualization. Parents have our schedule and therefore know what we do all day long. Our open door policy allows parents the freedom to observe and participate as well. The only problem we have is that there is not enough time in the day.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Riverdale, NJ

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

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

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