The Carlstadt Public School Preschool Program

 

Early childhood education is essential in building a foundation for a successful educational career.  Our mission is to provide an inclusive learning program that meets the educational, social, emotional and developmentally appropriate milestones in early childhood education with a partnership of staff, families and community members to nurture our youngest learners.   We are committed to providing a safe, caring and nurturing environment for all students to thrive and grow throughout their educational journey.  The Board of Education will offer each child in our early educational program the elements of a High Quality Universal Preschool. The Board along with the Early Childhood Educational Council (ECAC) will develop and explore the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards to deliver the curriculum with fidelity to our youngest learners. Our goal is to deliver a program where children are encouraged to think independently and whose social, emotional and creative abilities are developed and nourished to their fullest potential.
