Description:
Amazing Grace Early Education Center is a preschool for children 2 1/2 years old to 5 years old. We are located within Salem County and minutes from Gloucester County, NJ in Pedricktown, NJ. Our main purpose is to provide preschool children and families with a program that not only allows the child to learn through making friends and playing, but by also giving them a structured environment where the child can be actively taught by a skilled teacher using our A Beka curriculum. Our 3 1/2 hour program allows the children to learn from every aspect of the classroom.
We offer preschool "block" classes for children 5 days a week, 3 days a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; and 2 days a week on Monday and Wednesday. Parents may choose from our half day schedule starting at 8:45 am to 12:15 pm or our full day schedule from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm. We also offer morning care services opening at 7:00 am and after care programs until 5:30 pm for our enrolled preschoolers. These services help the working parents. AGEEC is not a day care and we do not offer hourly care, drop-off care or sick care. Parents can choose from our block scheduling selections.
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.
