Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment for children to feel safe when separating from parents.
To provide age appropriate curriculum activities that encourage a love for learning. Play is the foundation for learning. Promoting independence is an important way to build self identity, self esteem and confidence in children. Also to partner with parents by communicating daily to understand each family's expectations and views about their involvement.

Kindergarten Wrap Classroom
In our K-Wrap classroom, we work with a half day schedule shared with the Cranford Public Schools. Upon arrival, we say our prayer and eat lunch. Two to Three times a week we will also meditate. Afterwards, it's academics including, journals, sight words, calendars and our daily worksheets ranging from math, to science, to language literacy. Then students attend their specials of either art, computers, library or gym. We stick to a strict schedule but can be flexible at times. The goal for this class is for the students to be better and more confident in their abilities to learn and grow from the time we begin until it is over. We strive for excellence everyday and will continue to do so throughout the school year.
