Description: Crossroads Early Learning Center, a ministry of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church, has been open since 1981, serving children 6 weeks - Kindergarten. The goal of our ministry is to provide a safe and warm environment, along with a well-rounded educational curriculum in a Christian based atmosphere where each child can experience and share God's love. The childcare center does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religious affiliation, ethnic origin, family income or handicap (if child is able to function within our environment). Crossroads Early Learning Center is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Children and Families. The program operates following NAEYC (National Association for the Education of the Young Child) accreditation standards.
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.
