Mountainside, NJ - childcare information (Westfield, Summit: day care, school, taxes)

[harsel]

I am interested in moving to Mountainside. I am researching my childcare options. I am finding them to be limited for parents that work in NYC and can not get back until around 6:30 pm.

I have a 6 years old and a 3 years old.
I understand the after school is available until only 6:00pm.

I was wondering if any one know of any day care in mountainside that will take after-schooler until 6:30pm

There must be working parents like us that lives in mountainside....right?

Any childcare information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

There are tons of child care centers in Westfied (nearby) to look into
Noah's Ark
Cradles to Crayons

these are just a few.

But Mountainside school will not bus a child to a child care center outside of Mountainside. If there is no childcare options in Mountainside. I will have to consider other locations. I was very interested in Mountainside because the taxes were lower then the surroundings areas (ie...Westfield, Summit, New Providence....etc...)
Thank you very much for your help

Have you ever considered hosting an au pair for your childcre needs? This is a flexible affordable option tht averages around $325.00 per week regardleass of the number of children.
We have many au pairs that are already in the Westfield, Summit area with great local program support.
