Description: Welcome to ABC Express Preschool located in Pitman, New Jersey. We are a small, owner operated school, that offers fun and learning for children 6 weeks to 6 years old.
Are tired of the “big box” preschools who don’t even know your child’s name??? Well, you won’t get that with us. We keep our relationships with our children and our parents on a personal level. We take the time to get to know each and every child and their families as a whole. Want to pop in during the day to check on your child? Sure! Want to call for an update on your child’s day? Absolutely! Want to text our supervisor to see if you child ate all their lunch? Go right ahead!
We are all mom’s, grandma’s, aunt’s and big sisters to a child and know how it feels to be away from a loved one for the day. Rest assured, that we will do whatever it takes to make sure both you and your child feel great about spending the day at our preschool.
Our classes are small and taught by instructors who have previous experience in child care as well as continuing education classes. We strive to keep our student teacher ratio low, so that each child can receive the one on one attention they deserve. We believe that your child’s preschool experience should be a happy one. Come in for a tour, meet the new director and see all the great changes we have made.
We look forward to seeing you soon! Check back often for weekly updates.
