Description:
We aim to provide our children with learning experiences which will enhance their social, emotional and cognitive development.
We, at Small Blessings Child Care Center, aim to provide these young children with quality learning experience. At the same time, we strive to provide them with a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment. We achieve these by primarily engaging them in activities that develop their fine motor, gross motor, cognitive and social skills.
At Small Blessings Child Care Center, our mission is to develop in these children the love of learning. Our hope is, by the time they move on to grade schools, they are already well-equipped with the necessary skills to succeed. We constantly work with their parents to provide these kids a positive support system that will further help them to develop and grow.
Our overarching philosophy is to "develop the whole child."
Come and bring your kids. Let them grow with us!
Since the center is a participant of New Jersey Child Adult Food Program, we provide completely free meals for our children daily - breakfast, lunch and snacks. Our menus are updated monthly, taking extra measures to make sure that all meals served met required nutritional values.
