Childcare Centers in Jersey City, New Jersey

We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30am-5:30pm

Our program is designed to provide a high quality learning environment that enables children to develop individually and collectively with other students.

Having received accreditation from NAEYC, we strive to meet the needs of our students on a daily basis. Children’s activities stem from the key indicators of the developmentally appropriate HighScope Curriculum. These key indicators include:

• Language and Literacy
• Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Math, Science and Technology

What is the HighScope Educational Approach?

HighScope Students become independent and confident critical thinkers ready for success in their daily activities.

HighScope Students learn through active involvement with people, materials and events.
