Learn & Grow Academy

A Foundation for Growing and Learning

Learn & Grow Academy offers a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, discover, and learn. We are dedicated to providing exceptional childcare and a high-quality early childhood education to children from two and a half to six years old.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and nurturing space where children can feel loved, valued, and empowered to explore their potential. We believe in:

• Child-centered learning: We tailor our curriculum to meet the individual needs and interests of each child.
• Play-based exploration: Hands-on learning through play stimulates curiosity, creativity, and social development.
• Positive reinforcement: We celebrate children's achievements and encourage their individual growth.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is built on the New Jersey Preschool Expectations and the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. We focus on developing the whole child, fostering their:

• Literacy: Literacy skills are fostered through engaging stories, shared reading, and emergent literacy activities.
• Math: Mathematical concepts are playfully introduced through block building, counting games, and sorting activities.
• Science: Our outdoor environment becomes a science lab as children explore the natural world through sensory play and discovery.
• Social Studies: We celebrate diversity through cultural exploration and community visits.
• The Arts: Music, art, drama, and storytelling are seamlessly integrated into our daily activities.
• Technology: Children learn basic computer skills through interactive games and educational apps.

Our Experienced Staff

Led by experienced head teachers Nina Viganola-Galati and Patricia DeLemos, our dedicated team of certified teachers and assistants are passionate about early childhood education. We are committed to providing:

• Individualized attention: Small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios ensure that each child receives personalized support and guidance.
• Positive guidance: We guide children with gentle reminders and positive reinforcement, fostering self-confidence and self-regulation.
• Warm and nurturing care: Our caring staff creates a loving and supportive environment where children feel secure and comfortable.
