OUR PROGRAMS

Small Classes in a Homelike Environment - The Neighborhood House resembles a home more than a school thus making a child's first break from the home easier. With separate classrooms for three and four year-olds, each room is arranged in a homelike fashion, and limited class size, offering the individual child a comfortable, supportive environment.

Continuity Provided By Dedicated Staff - Our staff of certified teachers and dedicated volunteers from the community have demonstrated their commitment to the school by their long-term service.

Diverse Socio-Economic Mixture -The Neighborhood House draws children from different religious, economic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. The children learn to respect the individuality of each culture and appreciate the common ground which all cultures share.

Community Involvement - The children take numerous walking trips to places of different interest in downtown Millburn (such as the police, fire, train, and first aid stations, the library and the post office) to gain first-hand knowledge of community life.

Extensive Use of Outdoor Facilities - The children play regularly on the fully-equipped NHNS playground or in nearby Taylor Park to exercise and develop large muscle skills.

Musical Enrichment Program - A certified music teacher visits the school weekly and uses music to elicit dramatic, musical, audial, and other perceptual responses from the children.

School Program – Full and partial scholarships are available to families with financial needs who live or work in Millburn.
