Description: Fun 'n' Friends Nursery School is a preschool program for children 2 « through 5 years old. We offer two, three and four day sessions and do not require a child to be potty-trained to be enrolled. The school was formed in 1980 as a playgroup to meet the needs of members and friends of the United Presbyterian Church of Flanders. At that time the enrollment was 12. The program has since grown to a current enrollment of 126 children. In the spring of 1985, the nursery school was certified by the State of New Jersey. The program is designed to teach basic pre-school fundamentals through educational activities that are fun oriented. Emphasis is placed on the development of a positive self- image, peer socialization and an awareness of God's world, in a warm and caring atmosphere.
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.
