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.

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 in home care focuses on the specific needs that allow children to explore, learn and make choices. Since children are motivated when exercising their imagination and creativity, we explore activities that allow each child to develop into unique creative thinkers. We encourage and practice newly learned skills while giving children time to also socialize; we explore the arts, sciences, and how to just be kids.
