Children's Garden

60 Glen Road, Sparta, NJ, 07871 -

School Notes Overview:

All Children's Garden schools are year-round, fully accredited, state licensed educational programs. Each school was founded by Evelyn Moats Munger, an educator, college professor and author of the books Beyond Peek-a-Boo and Pat-a-Cake and Child Play. Children's Garden has been carefully designed to provide the best possible educational experiences for young children. Each school is a unique environment designed to maximize the best atmosphere for young children. Each outdoor play environment has also been carefully developed with a tricycle trail, tree house, sand area, playhouse, and large multipurpose climber designed to safely challenge young students. Education in early childhood is particularly important, offering children a first opportunity outside the home to interact with peers and develop a positive attitude toward themselves and others. This is also a time for children to learn important readiness skills that lead to later academic success and personal development. We provide challenging, age-appropriate learning activities that foster children's development. Our belief is that learning is fun and no one is too young to share that fun. Our program is a flexible one, encouraging each child to learn at his own pace. Children learn by active participation. They are exposed to as broad and as rich an array of experiences as we can possibly fit into each day. When learning is fun, children quickly increase their knowledge and broaden their interests. ...
