I am a South Amboy Mom, experienced child caregiver and pre-K teacher taking care of children in my home for over 20 years. In-home providers are exempt from licensing in New Jersey, but I have the same curriculum as other daycares. It all begins in my nursery/playroom where your child will start their journey of growth and discovery from tummy time to crawling and beyond. I offer lots of toys for each developmental stage, books, daily arts and crafts, learning activities for all ages, personal and individual attention (which is so important in the early ages), pre-K3 until 1st Grade preparedness and a big yard for outside play. I provide a caring, safe and clean environment in a home-like setting. We bake cookies, pizzas e.g. on special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Parents receive memorable pictures throughout the year. Daily circle time includes learning of colors, shapes, numbers and letters just to name a few. Starting at age 3, I give one-on-one teaching beginning with pencil control and tracing, then tracing letters and numbers until First Grade level. I have very reasonable rates and excellent references! (H) 732-553-9443 (C) 732-857-5995

PHILOSOPHY Here at Noah's Ark children ages Infant-Kindergarten are cared for by our nurturing and experienced teachers who have a true gift with children. We create a partnership with our parents to assure both you and your child's needs are met. Our Philosophy is based on three principal goals. 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. Young-Pre An environment of bright colors and appropriate centers provide optimum stimulation for the Young Pre growth. Young Pre children want to touch, taste, smell, hear, and test things for themselves. Our teachers incorporates into the curriculum four of most important developmental areas for this age group: Social, Emotional, Cognitive and Physical growth. Many self help skills are also introduced to the children through daily routines and cooperative play. The children are taught to be more vocal resulting in language strong development. Pre-K Kindergarten Our curriculum has children are eager, happy and excited about learning! We pride ourselves in embracing children's natural curiosity, inspiring them to explore and discover the world of learning. Our weekly themes are enhanced with many hands-on activities which engage children into learning. Social, Emotional and Academic development is all wrapped up into one fun package! We believe that children learn by doing, here we encouraged them to believe in themselves and graduate from our school natural leaders.

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.
