Our Mission
The Early Childhood Department is committed to creating a positive learning environment in which all children can succeed. Based on the Tools of the Mind and Go Math curriculum, as well as the Pre-K Teaching and Learning Standards, and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, children are provided with the cognitive, academic and social skills necessary for optimal learning. Activities are designed to promote the development of self-regulation, which increases the child’s ability to learn. The Tools of the Mind curriculum builds children’s foundational skills in literacy and mathematics. Instruction is scaffolded to meet the individual learning needs of each student. We strive to include families and the community as part of our educational team, through newsletters, classroom visits, family programs and class trips. Together we build the foundation for the future.

OUr Fall Festival
Early Childhood Department held an Open House October 7, 2019. The theme this year was "Fall Festival". Parents and students had an opportunity to become familiar with some of the Pre-K and Kindergarten curriculum activities. Every family that attended and visited every station received a book. Ten backpacks with various language and math activities were given out. The Program Director along with our Department Secretary, Early Childhood Coaches and Family Involvement Specialist attended the festival. A Huge THANK YOU to all the Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers along with the Occupational Therapists who volunteered their time to work at different stations. We were delighted to see our students engaging and having so much fun!

Play is the primary engine of human growth; it’s universal – as much as walking and talking. Play is the way children build ideas and how they make sense of their experience and feel safe. Just look at all the math concepts at work in the intricate buildings of kindergartners. Or watch a 4-year-old put on a cape and pretend to be a superhero after witnessing some scary event. -Nancy Carlsson-Paige
Children who are read to at least three times per week by a family member are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in standardized reading exams as children who are read to less than three times per week.
