The Children's Campus at R.V.C.C.
Preschool in Somerville, NJ 08876
Raritan Valley Community College?s childcare center currently has openings for children ages two- to four-years old. The childcare services are available to children from outside the College community at competitive rates.
The childcare center, The Children?s Campus, is located at RVCC?s North Branch Campus and sponsored by the College. It is licensed by the State of New Jersey and complies with all state licensing regulations.
RVCC, the first community college in the state to operate a childcare center, has provided early childhood education for more than 30 years. The center?s stand-alone facility, built in 1992, is designed specifically for the needs of young children. It offers two large playground areas adjacent to the building.
The center accepts children three months through five years of age; a limited number of spaces are offered for afternoon after-kindergarten care, and daily transportation is available from Branchburg public kindergarten to the center.
Class size is limited to provide for small groups supervised by a lead teacher. Student assistants ensure compliance with state-mandated adult-to-child ratios. The program offers developmentally appropriate activities in a nurturing, learning environment designed to meet the children?s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs.

The Childrens Campus has adopted The Creative Curriculum to organize our rooms into learning centers, and to use these developmentally appropriate centers in guiding children through the ages and stages of early growth. Teachers purposefully observe the children working and playing in these learning centers, using their observations to plan for each child and for the whole group. Teachers take anecdotal records and collect work samples each semester, which they use when planning and when conferencing with parents.
