Description: H arborview Child Care Center opened its doors in 1998. The Center is a co-sponsored program between the Metuchen Edison Woodbridge South Amboy YMCA and The First Presbyterian Church of Perth Amboy. We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. The Center operates from September through August for children 21 months to 5 years of age. Harborview Child Care Center is under contract with the Perth Amboy School District and the State of New Jersey to provide preschool services to all 3 and 4 year old residents of Perth Amboy. There are four rooms in operation with the present capacity to serve 60 children per day. Harborview Child Care Center earned NAEYC accreditation in April, 2011. Programs: The children are grouped by three different ages: 2’s, 3's and 4’s. Each group is situated in separate areas of the Center where specialized programs have been designed based upon the needs of each specific age group.
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.
