About Our Program - Daycare / Preschool / Aftercare &amp; Drop-in Services Superhero Schoolhouse provides children the opportunity to build confidence and express their individuality through artistically enriching, intellectually stimulating and physically challenging activities. Our unique learning environment sparks physical growth and discovery while our Montessori style curriculum, which combines the traditional and the progressive, supports each student's social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. What We Believe: We believe children thrive and feel safe in a structured environment. We believe in strengthening the multiple intelligences of each child based on the theories of Harold Gardner. We believe children learn best through play. We believe in developing the whole child by using each lesson to support physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in giving children the right and responsibility to make choices, and that by holding them accountable for their choice, we are strengthening their love of learning and sense of independence. We believe in providing all children the gift of time to learn at their own pace. Admission and Tuition: Admission to Superhero Schoolhouse is on a rolling, ongoing basis beginning each summer for the following school year. While most families complete registration during the spring months, we continue to keep our programs open as long as space is available. We embrace a streamlined, low-stress process that allows families to complete enrollment immediately once they have decided that Superhero Schoolhouse is the right program for their child. We are a proud member of Child Care Aware of America, e-Child Care &amp; NJCK!

Balanced learning for well-rounded children. With a combination of child-initiated activities and teacher-directed learning, our preschool program is a structured learning environment where kids become students who are really excited about learning and ready to grow. With newsletters and constant communication, you can rest easy knowing that you are always informed. Preschool children love to be kept busy with learning activities, even when they don't know they are learning through them. We use intentional teaching in that all our activities are focused on learning one of the basic lessons in our High Reach Curriculum. They also love to stay physically busy so we provide many opportunities through the day for your child to move their body, gain coordination and have carefree fun. Because we meet every child where they are, we work to keep every day interesting, engaging, and different while providing a routine that kids can count on. This daily routine compliments the use of High Reach Curriculum in order to develop fine motor skills, math, science and social skills along with a positive thought process that emphasizes confidence and kindness. We know that a child's social and emotional development is as important as learning to count so have incorporate positive socialization into our activities as well. Our carefully designed lesson plans develop self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence in preparation for kindergarten and beyond, forming your children into the little people they are fast becoming.
