Description: The Children's Studio provides a warm and loving atmosphere as well a unique education and genuine respect for children and families. We believe that children have a natural curiosity and are their own source for learning. We provide an environment that is filled with enriching experiences designed to enable children to gain the confidence to question, explore and therefore learn.
We are proud to offer quality education and care for infants through kindergarten. Our school has been a part of the South Bergen community for over 30 years. With our close proximity to New York City and easy access to public transportation, our center is an ideal choice.
At the Children's Studio we value what children say and do. Whether gently cuddling an infant, encouraging a toddler to explore independently or guiding a pre-schooler through a group project, our teachers and caregivers provide unconditional support for child-initiated learning.
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.
