About the Provider

Description: Supertots Educational Center, Inc. opened its door to families in Jersey City on September 18, 2002. Then in September 2010 Supertots II Educational Center, Inc. was born. Supertots Educational Center, Inc. provides Pre-School, Infant and Toddler care and After School services, while Supertots II Educational Center, Inc. provides Pre-K, services for local working families with children. The Pre-K program otherwise known as Abbott is free for children who turn four years by October 1 of the current school year. Our Day Care and After School tutorial components are also complemented by supervised recreational activities. SEC program offerings are designed to be affordable for low to moderate-income families residing within our tri-county service area.

Supertots’ performance history has been characterized by trust, quality and qualified professional staffing devoted to a safe, caring, clean and stimulating environment. This essential criterion defines Supertots’ operational priorities.

Indeed the principal focus of Supertots is to enable each child to have “quality beginnings” at the outset of life that will help to nurture personal growth and development as well as chart their individual dreams. We, therefore, believe that the weeks and months each child spends at Supertots represents meaningful cycles of time essential to the building of good character, cognitive development, emotional growth, fine and gross motor skills and social values.
