Mission Statement

Contracted Preschools along with the Jersey City Public Schools Department of Early Childhood are committed to providing the 3- and 4-year old children, who are Jersey City residents, with developmentally appropriate preschool experiences.

Our mission is to:

• Provide a learning environment that will help children develop intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally in a manner appropriate to their age and stage of development.
• Include education on health, nutrition, and social and emotional well-being into a daily program of varied activities.
• Enhance children’s feelings of self-worth and appreciation of their own and other’s ethnicity, cultures, and languages.
• Develop social competence by providing opportunities for children to make decisions and solve problems during their school day.
• Ease the transition of children into primary grades by providing appropriate early childhood experiences.
