Child care
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.

Rigel J. says "The best daycare in the world. We have been using Little Meadow since June. Structure, programming and academic schedules - really impressed. Our daughter...

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.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Springfield, NJ

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

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