Description: Loving and Learning Christian Childcare is a small, family owned and operated childcare business in Oak Ridge, NJ. We pride ourselves in offering the highest curriculum standards while maintaining a warm and loving atmosphere. We strive to encourage each child in the development of social/emotional skills, cognitive abilities and Christian values. This will enable children to become independent, responsible and caring individuals who can make decisions for themselves. To accomplish this, we provide a warm, stable and family-like environment, where children receive the love and support they need in order to reach their full potential. The core of our program is derived from Christian values which emphasize love, trust and respect in the classroom on a daily basis. In this way, not only do children learn Christian values, but also build a foundation for their future personal and academic growth.
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.
