Description: The North Ward Center operates one of the largest preschools in Newark, NJ. Established in 1975, the North Ward Center Child Development Center has served more than 4,000 preschoolers. We have more than 40 preschool classes that provide nearly 700 three and four year olds with fundamental learning skills. The Child Development Center is one of the largest Abbott preschools in the state of New Jersey.
The Center has invested more than $10 million to construct four preschool buildings in four locations without any money from taxpayers.
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.
