We are Showcasing our Educational Preschool Programs at our
St. Paul’s Location at 10 St Paul’s Place
(off Franklin Avenue)
Our Program at St. Paul's is designed for parents needing other than "full day" care. These families are looking for their children to spend time with peers and learn the social and academic skills they will need for success in their future interactions with their peers.
Our programs are designed to prepare children with the social and educational skills they will need for success in elementary school and beyond. Reading, literacy, social studies, math and science are all part of the daily learning program. Our goal is to foster a life-long love of learning in children. At our St. Paul's Location, we accommodate the needs of families who need part time and half-day care for their children in our 8:00 am to 1:00 pm program for children 2 1/2 through 5 years old and children preparing for kindergarten in surrounding elementary schools like Yantacaw, Spring Garden, Lincoln, Washington, Radcliffe, St. Thomas, St. Clair's and in Bloomfield: Brookdale, Watessing, and schools in Montclair, Clifton and Glenridge to name a few.

At our St. Paul's location "half-day" program from 8:00 am to 1:00pm. Parents have the option to enroll their children on a more flexible schedule to meet their preschooler's needs. Many families have older children in the surrounding elementary schools; Yantacaw, Spring Garden, Washington and Lincoln and Radcliff. These families don't need a full day of care for their preschoolers. The shorter hours of the AM or PM program or the school-day length program are sufficient to meet their needs. Most children stay for lunch and enjoy language and social interaction. FOur days each week, there are music, art, sculture and other specials after lunch to enrich each child's learning experience!
