The school accepts children beginning at 1 year of age.

They do not need to be potty trained for the young 3’s class. However, they do need to be potty trained for all other classes.

The obvious difference between the 3’s is potty training. Both classes are taught colors, shapes, letters, numbers, sharing, listening skills, etc. There are three (3) levels of 4 yr. old classes. Child’s ability determines where a child will be placed.

Regular 4 yr. old class is for children who may be attending school for the first time. No specific knowledge is needed. They must be mature enough to handle a structured setting where they will be taught all skills necessary for Kindergarten the following year.

Advanced 4 yr. old class requires that a child have a working knowledge of the alphabet and numbers (knows some/most letters and numbers), knows how to trace letters/numbers and can follow directions.

Our Pre K class requires children to recognize all upper case letters and numbers, be able to print their name and copy letters/numbers/simple words. Teacher will teach lower case letters and sounds to children. They will also learn one to one correspondence, matching sets of objects, simple addition during Math. Children entering Pre K classes must be going onto a Kindergarten the following year.

Our Kindergarten class requires that child must know upper/lower case letters and sounds of letters. They will begin a reading program after a short period of review. In Math they will learn addition, subtraction, time, money, measuring, etc. For this class a child must be mature enough academically, socially, emotionally and physically to handle this advanced curriculum.

Yes. From time to time field trips are scheduled. However, parents sign a permission form in order for a child to attend any trip. Parents are also invited to attend trips. Transportation is provided by school buses. In addition to trips, we also invite guest speakers to the school and have many fun holiday events and parties.

Our school has cameras located throughout the building and in the outside areas surrounding the building (playground/parking lots). Our front door has a security lock where people must be manually let in by staff. The front desk is never unattended. Our staff is instructed to never let a child out of their line of vision and child are never left alone. Our ratios of staff to children are excellent. Our school is very strict concerning the release of children. Parents must sign in upon entering/dropping off children and sign out when leaving the building.

We will not release a child to someone not known to the school or without parents’ prior permission! Anyone other than parents must present I.D. before a child will be released. No exceptions!

All schools must follow State of NJ rules for discipline. We will explain to child what was unacceptable and if there is a recurrence, time out will be used. When child is disciplined, a note will be sent home to parents advising them of the situation and action taken.

All children staying for the full day must nap. This is a State of NJ rule. All children will be put in the nap room on cots but, of course, we cannot force a child to sleep. Most do sleep, however, it is permissible for a child to just lay quietly and rest. If it is a parent’s choice to have a child not nap, child will be put in nap room for 20 minutes to rest and will then be returned to classroom.
