Description: The Essex County College Child Development Center, located on the first level of the Physical Education Building, provides a full-day educational program for children between the ages of two and five. The Center is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs. Services are available to children whose parents are enrolled or employed at Essex County College. The Center is also open to the Essex County community on a space available basis. The Center provides, in collaboration with other academic departments, a practicum experience for students majoring in early childhood education, psychology, nursing, social work, and other related fields. The practicum experience is designed to provide an academic setting where students receive first-hand experience in the" meshing" of theory into practical application.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Director seems too busy to take proper protocols to inform me that my child was hurt. It was my daughters second day and she will NOT be returning! Her finger was slammed “by a play kitchen door” which left her finger swollen, purple and bloody. I was NOT notified. The Director took he blame and apologized for not informing me because she got “too busy”. Teacher that wrote report stated the kitchen door slammed on her finger but my daughter said a little girl slammed the door. That was NOT in the report. I do not recommend this center!
