We strive to create a place where children may build relationships, pursue a wide variety of interests, and develop their creativity and imagination. We offer a wide variety of activities including, arts and crafts, hands on science experiments, cooking clubs and sports in our full size gymnasium. A quiet place is also available for children to do their homework.
PrimeTime is licensed by the NJ Department of Children and Families. Our facility has met all the health and safety requirements required by the State of NJ and all of our staff members have been background checked and are CPR and First Aid certified.
