About the Provider

Community Nursery School is a non-denominational, non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality nursery school education for preschool children. Sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen, the school was opened in 1949. We are licensed by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Department of Children and Families. The program is built on the philosophy that a nursery school should provide a wide variety of opportunities for the social, intellectual, emotional and physical development of the child in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. The curriculum is based on both individual and group needs, interests and abilities. The children are provided with materials and equipment, time and space, and appropriate teacher guidance. The methods, procedures and practices reflect an understanding of child growth and development.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
