About the Provider
Just Children was founded in 1983 and operates 11 schools throughout Bucks and Chester Counties, Philadelphia and New Jersey. We offer a unique environment for children ages 2 months through Kindergarten. Our programs are year round and designed to develop methods of exploration, reading and math readiness. Every Just Children school offers an elaborate outdoor playground designed to promote gross motor skill development and an indoor playroom for large muscle activities. Our programs are filled with stimulating themes where children learn as they play. There is a computer in each classroom to teach children basic skills to begin their journey of learning technology. Summer at Just Children brings the children outdoors to enjoy water play, organized sports, trips, nature study and special picnics and barbecues.
