Princeton Preschools

I am a Princeton University Alumna with a degree in Cultural Anthropology and extensive coursework and training in early childhood development. I am the former owner of the legendary Tiger Hall Play Zone which used to be on 206 in the plaza with Mayflower Cleaners. It was a funky preschool and play center hybrid. The page is still active and it gives you an idea about the former spirit of that well loved place. I sold it in the fall of 2013 in order to work on some bigger ventures outside of NJ. Unfortunately, the new owners went out of business shortly after the sale...

I now own a larger center in Upstate New York called The Polka Dot Place. It is in a commercial strip mall and licensed for 38 children. I manage it from afar. The pitfall of owning such a large center that is so far away is that I am no longer interacting with children on a daily basis which has always been my passion.

My eldest daughter grew up in Tiger Hall for 7 years. All of her best friends are former Tiger Hallers because they grew up together side by side. We went on field trips nearly every day, and like Ms. Frizzle and her gang from The Magic School bus we had a whole lot of hands on fun (and a pet lizard too!). I am hoping to form another tiny pod of children that can stick together from infancy/toddlerdom up to or even beyond Kindergarten (I also homeschool and provide homeschooling services). I have several references from reputable and even celebrity clientele. I offer a top notch service with a focus on the whole child and with a unique focus on personal responsibility and civility. Here are some of the highlights of the program that I am going to provide:

We pride ourselves on the love and respect we provide to each child and their family. We have more than 25 years of experience in providing children with the tools and the environment necessary to achieve their highest potential.

When you walk into our center, you get a sense of being amongst family. We consider our center to be your child's home away from home. At The Learning Experience children are given the support they need to grow socially, physically and emotionally (or LEARN, PLAY and GROW) in a safe and secure environment. High-tech security systems, an exceptional and proprietary curriculum, a well-equipped, clean and sanitary environment and state of the art center are just some of the ways The Learning Experience stands apart from the others. We are proud of our structured, yet fun environment that offers children a world of opportunity to gain confidence and knowledge, all while establishing a love for learning and giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands.

It is important to trust the people who are responsible for the care and education of your children. Each staff member is a loving and nurturing individual with exceptional credentials. Teachers and assistants must follow strict guidelines, meet all state certification requirements and are encouraged to participate in sponsored continuing education programs. Mandatory First Aid training and CPR courses are provided annually. Consistent evaluations by superiors and parents help maintain the center's high standard of excellence for its personnel.

We know that choosing a daycare for your child can be a difficult decision. Knowing that, we are here to help and to provide parents with peace of mind that their little one(s) are being cared for in a nurturing, warm and secure environment. Whether your child is an infant or preschooler, we offer the best in age-appropriate care and academic and enrichment programming. We encourage you to visit our center so that you can see first-hand you how we can make a positive difference in your child's life.

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!

Princeton Nursery School (PNS) is an educational preschool and child care facility for children between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Located at 78 Leigh Avenue , PNS is nestled in the heart of the John Witherspoon community of Princeton, Mercer County, NJ.

Celebrating 90 years of service to the community, it is the mission of Princeton Nursery School to provide a quality preschool education program and child care for families, providing a diverse environment and a broad array of support services. Each classroom has a minimum two teachers, including one who is bilingual.

We are a 12 month program, with hours of 7:30 - 5:30pm, Monday to Friday. Our tuition includes an extensive health and wellness program including an oral hygiene program, physical fitness and the provision of a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack daily, made on the premises .

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.
