Description: Ponds Valley Preschool, located in Oakland, New Jersey, is a non-sectarian preschool that has been operating under the sponsorship of Ponds Reformed Church for 40 years. Ponds Preschool works cooperatively with parents to maintain a high quality, early childhood program. Our primary goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. Our staff strives to help each child to develop his or her own unique abilites. Our atmosphere is one of love for, and basic understanding of, the young child and his world.
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.
