... Where kids come first!

  Caring for children age 6 weeks through 6 years.

Pre-K (3-4), Jr-K (4-5) ratio 10:1

The Preschool stage is most crucial to providing a strong foundation for future learning. We provide our preschool students an enriched environment filled with developmentally appropriate activities.

To promote social and emotional growth preschoolers are encouraged to make independent decisions, explore and experiment different materials and participate in activities which help them empathize with feelings of others and express themselves to their teachers and peers. The preschool curriculum also includes language and literacy, mathematics, science, and physical development as well as weekly Computer Explorers instructions and a music enrichment class.

 

Kindergarten (5) ratio 13:1

Kindergarteners receive group instruction as well as individual instruction with our hands on approach to learning. Little Treasures' Kindergarten curriculum is a comprehensive one incorporating all of the New Jersey Core Standards. Lessons include word work, phonemic awareness, reading workshop, writing workshop, poetry, mathematics, science, social studies, character building, and art.  At Little Treasures Learning Center, kindergarten children are exposed to a variety of activities which develop them socially, physically and academically. Our full day kindergarten program allows children to learn about their community through field trips and special visitors. Kindergarteners also have ample time to play and socialize during indoor center time and outside play time. During center time kindergarteners are able to make choices on what they prefer to do. Whether it be taking their friends' orders in a restaurant or building a castle alongside their classmates, kindergarteners have fun while learning. Our kindergarten program includes enrichment classes through Musically Yours and Computer Explorers which reviews and builds on the concepts taught in our preschool program through fun and hands on activities.

 

First Grade (6) ratio 13:1

Our First Grade curriculum includes Mathematics, English Language Arts and Literacy in History, Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects as explained in the New Jersey Common Core Standards. We incorporate writing workshop, reading workshop, guided and shared reading, phonemic awareness, word study, social studies, character development, science, mathematics and art in the daily activities of our First Grade students. Students even get hand on experiences in our very own Children's Garden which helps to enhance their learning in areas of science and mathematics. First Graders also enjoy physical activities in our large indoor gym and outdoor playground. Our program includes the enrichment classes of Musically Yours and Computer Explorers which offer their very own First Grade curriculum.
