Description: Our preschool is 19 years old...and all new! We are now The Ginger Tree Preschool of the Arts, located in the charming and historic Old School House in Glen Gardner at 1 School Street. We have a whole new energy and outlook for this wonderful school. We will continue to offer a safe, nurturing, loving, environment for all children from 6 weeks to 6 years old whose families have put their trust in us. We will be emphasizing Art as a vehicle to give your child an outlet for their creativity and to instill values that you know are important in life…the Art of respecting others; the Art of having manners; the Art of listening; the Art of thinking; the Art of getting along with others. Starting in September we will have a dedicated Art room and a new early childhood Art instructor where your child can get messy, be creative and have a GREAT time! Enroll your child now and take $100 off the first month’s tuition.
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.
