Description: Nothing on earth is more precious than a smile on your child's face. A real smile. A smile that expresses positive self-worth, proud achievement and the feeling of relaxed security that results from an environment of healthy care.
From the moment of birth, a child embarks on a lifelong path of learning. We at Preschool at Chabad of Fort Lee believe that these first years of education are the most crucial in your child's life. We provide a warm and safe environment that nurtures positive self-esteem and helps build the foundation for successful development and growth.
