Early childhood education at a high quality preschool offers many benefits that can help your child achieve more in school and in life - and be more confident as well. No matter what a child's background may be, attending a preschool with a well-developed program can help him or her go further. Studies have shown that even at-risk children are less likely to drop out of high school if they received a high quality preschool education. With such long-lasting benefits, we believe in the efficacy of early childhood education - and we keep up with the latest teaching methods and developments in our field.

We are a small, personalized center offering lots of flexibility, no contract, free hot lunch and diapering supplies. We run year-round and offer part and full-time programs both mornings and all day up to 11 hours daily including after-care where needed. We accept children beginning at age 18 mos. Potty training is not a requisite. We are very homespun, friendly, and glad to incorporate each family's personal wishes into their child's day. We opened some 8 years ago to serve Princeton University Faculty families, but have since moved to a wonderful expansive campus and now invite the general public as well from Princeton and neighboring communities. Utilizing Montessori principles, we offer a child-centered classroom, self-paced learning, and positive guidance. Our classrooms are large and bright, offer lots of natural sunlight, and are pleasing to the fussiest of customers! ;-) We also have a huge all-purpose gymnasium-like room for indoor playground time on rainy or excessively cold days. Just on the outskirts of town, we are nestled in nature in Princeton proper about 1.5 miles from the University main gates. We are more than happy to provide a tour at a time of your choosing. Please simply give us a call or email us.

Princeton Community Family Learning Center (PCFLC) is a small center with only 36 children total and 8 amazing teacher-caregivers. Nestled on the Princeton countryside near the Herrontown Woods, we are still only 2 miles from the Princeton University main gate. PCFLC is located on the grounds of the lovely and expansive All Saints' Church campus, though we are NOT a religious-based program. We are a faith-neutral program and celebrate diversity. We offer flexibility, affordability and a personal approach to every family we serve. There is no registration fee or long-term contract. We view each family as unique, and work hard to accommodate your specific needs. We offer both a preschool experience and/or all-day coverage. Children's schedules range from 3 hours, two days a week (part-time preschool) to full-time days with extended care. We accept children as young as 18 months and up to 6 years. Three big, bright, naturally-lit classrooms accommodate the different age groups as well as two gymnasium/all-purpose rooms. We have a lovely, large, fenced-in playground surrounded by shade trees for outdoor play. We strive to serve local families in every capacity we can, often providing after-school care for children who attend the local public schools as well as drop-in care for children when the family's nanny needs a break. The curriculum for children 18 months to 5 years is "My Big World" fully supported by Scholastic and creatively developed by PCFLC teachers. Five-year-olds showing readiness to engage in our kindergarten curriculum are welcome to do so. Both curriculum's can be viewed on our website. We offer complementary hot lunch and diapering supplies. It is our pleasure to serve a hot meal every day free of charge, which always includes a vegetarian alternative. We ask that parents donate snacks to the classroom for sharing. For more information, please email us at info@princetoncflc.com or call 609-454-3637. You may also text 609-558-7694. We look forward to hearing from you and learning how we can serve your family!
