About the Provider
In early 1982, Josephine Christopher's dream of a nursery school for this area became a reality with the help of her husband George, son Jimmy, twin daughters Lillian and Diane along with their husbands, Marc and Ray. That summer was spent renovating the building and grounds to comply with State and Township regulations. A Certificate of Occupancy from Woodbridge along with a License from the State of New Jersey were received in time allowing us to open in September, 1982. We provide early childhood learning experiences and values. A generation of children has passed through our doors with fond memories of their early beginnings. Many are now mothers and fathers bringing their own children to Young Ideas to begin their learning experience.
