Description:
Stars of Hope Daycare is a Essex county based full-fledge childcare facility, established for the provision of detailed child care services for children between the ages of 0 and 6years, which will include after school services for ages 0-13 years old in a safe, secure and excellent facility.
We provide our parents and student with a cohesive learning program for every child because we believe that, when we serve our students, we serve our parents as well. We use a proven approach to learning with a combination of Abeka and Montessori methods of teaching.
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.
