Welcome to Children's Garden

Children's Garden of Morristown is a year-round, fully accredited, state licensed educational program. It was founded in 1982 and is conveniently located near Routes 287 and 124.

Children's Garden has been carefully designed to provide the best possible educational experiences for young children. Located in a large elegant mansion, its high ceilings, sunny rooms and home-like environment provide the perfect atmosphere for young children. The outdoor play environment has also been carefully developed with a tricycle trail, tree house, sand area, playhouse and large multipurpose climber designed to safely challenge young students.

Our staff is composed of degreed teachers, committed to the maximum fulfillment of each child’s potential. Keeping a low child-to-staff ratio enables our teachers to provide personal and individual attention to each child and family.

Children's Garden serves children two and a half through six years of age. The school offers students learning experiences throughout the day, with the morning activities in full swing by 9:00 a.m. Parents may choose a two, three or five day program, picking a daily schedule to meet their needs. These schedules may utilize any part of our daily hours of operation between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at no additional cost. Half days are available for the youngest group.

Our goals are implemented through a program which combines Art, Music, Math Readiness, Science, Language Arts, and Motor activities with special events and classroom visitors. Structured, teacher-directed activities are planned to integrate all these activities into weekly themes such as Dinosaurs, Senses, Transportation, etc. There are also times for children to play alone or with a small group of their friends.

SUMMER PROGRAM
During the summer, our program moves outside. The children have the opportunity to enjoy summer fun while the learning continues. Nature studies, camp arts and crafts, special visitors, and water play are just a few of the exciting events that take place during the summer session.

Our older children are given the opportunity to visit our Sparta Campus for a mini-camp experience, two times a week. Swim lessons are available to all ages for an additional cost.

LUNCH PROGRAM
All children are invited to bring their lunches and enjoy this social time with their friends. We are equipped to warm (microwave) or refrigerate lunches when needed. The school provides morning and afternoon snacks and drinks. Special cooking experiences are also a part of our program.

Parents are welcome to visit our school at any time. We count on parent support to make many of our activities possible. The Children's Garden Parent Association volunteers help throughout the year to plan special projects and parties.
