Programs

Letter from the Director

 

Dear Parents,

 

The Jefferson Child Care and Education Center welcomes you and your child to our child care program!

We are now servicing more than 150 children in our preschool, school age, and summer camp programs.

Our programs are designed to provide safe, healthy developmentally appropriate environments for children of working parents.  You will find our staff to be sensitive and flexible in addressing the individual needs of children and families.  We will do our best to accommodate your child care needs.

We regard parents as the child’s first and most important teachers, and therefore we welcome your input in understanding the unique needs of your child.

We are looking forward to sharing our programs with you and your family!

 

Sincerely,

Lisa Scognamiglio

Executive Director

Accredited programs have met NAEYC’s 10 standards for high-quality early childhood education. These programs have demonstrated that they provide a safe and healthy environment for children, have teachers who are well-trained, have access to excellent teaching materials, and work with a curriculum that is appropriately challenging and developmentally sound.

Grow NJ Kids is a state-sponsored initiative to raise the quality of child care and early learning throughout New Jersey.

Grow NJ Kids gives child care and early learning programs resources to assess and improve their programs, while providing parents with information that allows them to evaluate the quality of programs and make the best choices for their child. The goal is to create a system that encourages ongoing improvement.
