Description: PBJC Nursery offers a unique program in Early Childhood Education. Our philosophy is to provide young children with a rich and stimulating environment that is warm, loving, and supportive of each child’s own rate of learning and development.
The children are exposed to a variety of age-appropriate learning activities to meet their emotional, social, intellectual, and physical developmental needs. It is through this supportive, non-pressured environment that each child will acquire a solid sense of security, positive self-esteem, and a long-term enthusiasm for learning.
We fulfill these goals through carefully planned theme-related programs and activities, developed by a professional and caring staff.
We are committed to building a strong sense of community among parents, teachers, and children.
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.
