I provide parents with the peace of mind to go to work and their child with the quality, loving, nurturing care they deserve in my home. Sort of a home away from home and an extended family. I have been a family daycare for over 20 yrs. and a mom of three grown children. I never have more than five children a day. Days vary with the amount of children. I am very germ conscious and diligent at cleaning my home and disinfecting. I care for infants ,toddlers and children up to school age. All infant and toddlers have their own personal cribs, sheets and blankets provided. The children I care for are with me each week. I don't have different children coming and going. I have taken care of the siblings of these children over the years. Each family that I care for their children are very careful and we all work together to keep our children safe and healthy during this &quot;new normal&quot; due to the corona virus. I find it important for an infant and a young child to have that one on one attention, as well as, benefit from the social interaction of a small group in a home environment. It is such a joy watching them grow, loving them and being a part of their precious little lives. I offer age appropriate activities and guide them to learn their motor skills, listening skills, words, letters, numbers, colors, sharing, manners, personal care and potty training. I am dependable, reliable and available year round. CPR and first aid certified. Hot, nutritious breakfast and lunch provided. Also, nutritious morning and afternoon snacks. Small group and a clean, sanitized and disinfected home environment equals healthier children. All children remain at my home, never taken anywhere in my car. I have references available upon your request.

Child care
For nearly 30 years, The Goddard School has been a trusted name among parents and families. Its classrooms are safe, nurturing environments for children six weeks to six years, offering age-appropriate opportunities to explore and discover. From infants to toddlers, preschoolers to pre-kindergarteners, highly trained teachers lead each child to reach developmental milestones, preparing the children for social and academic success. EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY Our F.L.EX. Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is based on academic research that shows children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. Designed to provide a well-rounded experience and ensure children become confident, joyful and fully prepared students, our play-based curriculum offers enrichment programs such as chess, music, yoga, drama and foreign languages to meet the individual needs to each child. OUTCOMES Results of a recent third-party review show that Goddard School students, on average, score 45% higher on literacy and mathematics assessments versus non-Goddard School students. The results also show that the longer children are enrolled at a Goddard School, the better learners they become and the higher they score on both mathematics and literacy assessments. WHY GODDARD? Three Reasons to Choose The Goddard School 1. Play-Based Program: Guided by highly trained teachers, our curriculum offers playful, age-appropriate learning opportunities for children. 2. Health &amp; Safety: From every detail of our classroom and playground design to our high standards of cleanliness, we do everything to make children safe and secure. 3. STEAM: Our program incorporates STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) into exciting, fun experiences for children. visit our website for reviews from our present and past families.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Freehold, NJ

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

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

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