Upon entering the school, one is impressed by the bright, cheerful surroundings and the children's creative artwork, imaginative play, and caring staff. The classrooms surround a big, open learning area making up Housekeeping, Drama, Transportation, Blocks, and Pretend Play.
Classrooms are designed for directed learning as well as free play. They contain many educational Centers including Language and Literacy, Creative Expression, and Manipulatives. Children have opportunities for art, pretend play, math, science, reading, and music. The science and math centers include manipulatives, puzzles, blocks, and methods of involving children in estimating, predicting, and exploring. Dramatic play invites children to dress up, put on plays, create puppet shows, and pretend. Fine motor and sensory-motor skills are enhanced by the writing practice as well as scissor use. The Starfall curriculum - a phonics based learning program - is utilized by our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes in order to begin the journey of reading and writing.
Today's Learning Center is a community that embraces diversity in children and their families. A small staff to child ratio allows each child to thrive. We are licensed by the State of New Jersey's Department of Children and Families.
