Our Program

A Varied Schedule of Learning Experiences

The Center is licensed by the state of New Jersey for 108 children. Enrollment is limited to just 97 children.

Children attend on a full-time, full-day basis. We have five classes and the children are grouped according to age and developmental level.

Varied, daily activities help develop physical, social, creative, and intellectual skills. Learning is achieved through planned play activities.

LAP is used to screen for developmental delays and to plan for individuals needs.

Several special programs are scheduled each month. Pony rides, puppet shows, musical concerts, magic shows, and petting zoos are some examples.

The daily schedule provides time for rest and refreshments. Two snacks are provided daily and lunch is either brought from home or purchased for an additional fee. Children nap on mats provided by the center.

The daily gym period, outdoor playground and recreation room provide an outlet for motor activities, while the classroom, library and quiet room provide space for quieter pursuits.
