Finally, as a rated program, we have demonstrated our commitment to offering high-quality child care and promoting school readiness. The key to this program is continuous improvement. These are unprecedented times and we know parents are being asked to manage many different fronts. Neighborhood House OPENED for the 2020-2021 school year in person on Wednesday, September 9. We are following guidelines issued by the State Office of Licensing. As a school operating in a small, intimate setting, we are well positioned to help your child adjust to the new school year. There are a multitude of windows in each classroom and overhead fans to circulate the air inside. In addition, our expansive playground and unique garden area afford children the opportunity to engage in more outdoor time. March marked the Neighborhood House 100th year anniversary (i.e., a 100 Years and Growing). Current guidance from Office of Licensing is only allowing a maximum of 15 children per day per classroom. Since we only have two classroom, the maximum number of children we can have entering the building at one time is 30. We are known for being a very small, close knit community. We do have some limited room in our program. Please contact Jennifer Langan at neighborhouse@verizon.net or 973-376-0739 or on her cell at 201-310-3071 for more information. |
