Need help with circuits and photocell

Hello,
I need help building a project but know nothing about circuitry and photocell. I thought I'd ask you professionals.

I want to take a photocell light sensor and attach it to a small motor (1" diameter motor) and battery.

Here is the link
http://www.robotshop.com/mini-photoc... campaign=jos

What I want to happen is, when the light is on the photocell sensor, the motor will come on and spin left (counter clockwise) "x" amount of times, the quit. Then, when it is dark on the photocell sensor, the motor will spin clockwise "x" amount of times and stop.

I realize there has to be some kind of silicon circuit board in there to tell the motor what to do. On the same link mentioned above, there is a picture of a silicon board the size of a quarter, is it possible to have a board that size to do what want mentioned above?
Do you recommend someone or a company to help with this project? I would Gladly compensate for the job.

Any help, advice is greatly appreciated.
Any additional questions, please ask.

Thank you.
