The Learning Path provides both a preschool program, and a preschool program within a full day format. We educate children between the ages of two and six. Our not-for-profit school is housed in the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Chatham, New Jersey.

The Learning Path provides an environment that focuses on values such as respect for others, a willingness to help others, acceptance of diversity and a basic knowledge of traditions of all children represented in the school. The diversity of our children, parents and staff are celebrated. Families and staff of all backgrounds are welcome here.

The Learning Path is governed by a board comprised of parents, community and church members. The school has been here for 15 years and began new sponsorship on June 29, 2009. Our teachers are certified and experienced in the field of early childhood education. The Learning Path has a very intimate atmosphere created by small ratios and nurturing teachers.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
