-- RisingStars Family Childcare has opened summer registration for its NJ-licensed, home-based program in Plainsboro, welcoming children from infancy through pre-kindergarten into a small-group, home-like setting.

UNICEF notes that the quality of early childhood experiences plays a critical role in establishing foundations for health, learning, and behavior throughout life. RisingStars Family Childcare structures its program around this principle, offering a home-based setting where development-led care remains consistent from infancy through pre-kindergarten.
"Central to the program is the mixed-age group model," explains a representative of the childcare center. "Younger children observe and model older peers, while older children build confidence through informal mentorship. This dynamic supports social development in a way that mirrors natural family interactions rather than age-segregated classroom structures. For many families, this is a key reason for choosing a home-based provider over a larger center."
RisingStars Family Childcare follows the Creative Curriculum, a state-approved, research-based framework for children aged five and under. Daily activities are designed to address five core development areas: cognitive, language, fine motor, gross motor, and social-emotional. These are delivered through a structured but flexible daily routine that includes circle time, guided play, outdoor activity, and hands-on projects. STEAM-focused tasks, covering science, technology, engineering, art, and math, are also built into the schedule at age-appropriate levels.
According to the childcare center spokesperson, the home setting keeps group sizes small, giving the provider room to observe each child's pace, adjust activities to individual interests, and maintain consistency in daily routines. Flexible scheduling options are also available to accommodate working parents across different shift patterns.
The program is led by Aparna, a certified early childhood educator with a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, CPR and First Aid training, and certifications in Health and Safety and Child Abuse and Neglect. The team highlights that the program supports subsidy-eligible families, and parents are encouraged to check eligibility with their county CCR&R agency before enrolling.
