Weekday Nursery in South Orange, NJ

Pre School Description

Through a wide variety of curriculum areas, we hope to bring many experiences and talents into the child's life to help the whole child grow and develop at his/her own pace. Weaknesses can become strengths, and confidence builds in this respectful, exploratory classroom. We hope to challenge and foster independence in our students.
Specific curriculum areas include, but are not limited to:
