401KAbout UsThe mission of Village Early Childhood Center is to educate students socially and academically by building collaborative relationships with our students, families, and the community. We wish to empower our children with the tools they need to successfully meet the challenges of life and make positive contributions to their world. Our program has been awarded 4 stars by the Grow NJ Kids Initiative and we pride ourselves in implementing best practice. The heart of our preschool is centered on family engagement. The old adage of it takes a village to raise a child holds true. We believe in order for children to be successful, we as educators must work collaboratively with the families we provide care for. Parents are a child's first teachers and they set forth their foundation in learning.
