Plainsboro, NJ Mixed-Age Home Daycare For Infants To Pre-K: Program Updated

Sep 21, 2026

RisingStars Family Childcare (609-785-5094) has announced an update to its home-based daycare program in Plainsboro, New Jersey, where children from infancy through age five are cared for together in a single-family setting, with daily routines tailored to the full age range.

Plainsboro Township, United States, September 21, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- RisingStars Family Childcare, a state-licensed home-based daycare operating in Plainsboro, New Jersey, since 2015, has announced an update to its program highlighting how it serves children from birth through age five in a single mixed-age group. Rather than separating children by age into distinct classrooms, the program brings infants, toddlers, and preschoolers together throughout the day under one roof and one consistent caregiver.

Daily activities at RisingStars follow the same arc for all age groups, with each session adjusted so it works for a toddler and a preschooler side by side. Rather than running separate lesson plans on separate schedules, the program applies its state-approved Creative Curriculum across the full age range at once.

The shift toward smaller, home-based care has been growing. According to data from Child Care Aware of America, the number of licensed family child care homes increased 4.3 percent from 2023 to 2024, the first upward trend in several years after a prolonged period of decline. The same organization reports that the national average annual cost of child care reached $13,184 in 2025, underscoring the financial pressure many families face when evaluating their options.

That national shift toward smaller, home-based settings points to something families already notice about programs like RisingStars: children are not moved into a new room or assigned a new caregiver every year. A child who starts in the infant group can stay with the same provider through preschool, without changing buildings, teachers, or routines along the way.

"A lot of parents tell us the home setting itself makes a difference before their child even gets used to us," said a RisingStars Family Childcare spokesperson. "It doesn't feel like dropping a child off at a facility. It feels more like leaving them somewhere familiar, and that tends to help kids settle in faster."

RisingStars Family Childcare operates from a home setting in Plainsboro, licensed to care for children from birth through age five, Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The program follows a state-approved curriculum, participates in the Grow NJ Kids quality rating system, and offers flexible in-person or virtual tours for families considering enrollment.

PH earns first Two Michelin Keys as nine hotels make 2026 list

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has earned its first-ever Two Michelin Key hotel distinctions, with nine properties recognized in the 2026 Michelin Guide hotel selection. El Nido Resorts Lagen Island in Palawan and Raffles Makati received Two Michelin Keys, marking them as the first Philippine properties to reach the distinction, which the Michelin Guide describes as an “exceptional stay.” Raffles Makati was promoted from One Key, while El Nido Resorts Lagen Island entered the selection with Two Keys. The recognition brings the country's total to nine Michelin Key hotels for 2026, up from five properties in the previous selection. El Nido Resorts Lagen Island was recognized for its location within a forested cove surrounded by limestone cliffs, as well as its use of Filipino materials and craftsmanship, and its environmental practices. Raffles Makati was cited for its all-suite accommodations, private butler service and intimate residential atmosphere. Four properties also received their first One Michelin Key: Nustar Hotel Cebu in Cebu City, El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island in Palawan, Hotel Okura Manila at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, and Manami Resort in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental. Three hotels retained their One Michelin Key distinctions from the previous selection: Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, Fairmont Makati, and Amanpulo in Palawan. Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay welcomed the recognition in a statement saying, “This recognition reflects the continued growth of Philippine hospitality and the dedication of our tourism stakeholders in creating exceptional experiences for travelers from around the world.” She also said the recognition could help strengthen the country's positioning as a destination offering different types of high-end accommodations, from island resorts to hotels in urban centers. “Beyond the recognition itself, we see this as an opportunity to further position the Philippines as a destination where travelers can find exceptional stays, from our island resorts to our urban hotels, all anchored on the warmth of Filipino hospitality,” she added. The Michelin Key is the hotel counterpart of the Michelin Star for restaurants. Hotels are assessed by Michelin Guide inspectors using five criteria: architecture and interior design; quality and consistency of service; overall personality and character; value for the price; and the property's contribution to its neighborhood or setting. A One Michelin Key represents a “very special stay,” while Two Michelin Keys indicate an “exceptional stay.” Three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction, represent an “extraordinary stay.” The 2026 global selection includes 2,832 Michelin Key hotels across 79 countries, with 657 receiving Two Keys and 2,020 receiving One Key. For the Philippines, Angara-Mathay said the growing number of recognized properties also contributes to strengthening the country's tourism brand. “Every recognition earned by our tourism stakeholders contributes to a stronger Philippine tourism brand. As we continue to welcome more travelers, we will likewise continue working with our partners in the industry to further elevate the quality of Philippine hospitality,” the Tourism chief added.
