Kean University Childcare Development Center

The mission of the Kean University childcare center is to provide for the care and education of children, ages two and a half through five, whose parents are students or employees of Kean University. In addition, our mission includes providing evening care during academic semesters for children ages three-twelve, whose parents are students or employees of Kean.

The Kean University Child Care Center believes in a child-centered, developmentally appropriate approach to learning. That is, the planning of activities is based on the needs interests and abilities of the children. We believe children are active learners, constructing their own knowledge through first-hand exploration of meaningful experiences. In-depth investigations of topics or themes draw on elements of integrated curriculum, the project approach, developmentally appropriate practices, and the inspirations of Reggio Emilia.
