Nutritional Sciences Preschool
Preschool in New Brunswick, NJ 08901
The preschool fosters the self-esteem of the individual child by encouraging independence and healthy growth. Parent Participation Our observation booth is always open to parents. Parents also participate in fundraising, field trips, and party days. Also, we have parent education programs and a Parent Advisory Committee, which meets monthly.
Each class has a certified head teacher, along with student teachers who are also enrolled in a child nutrition course. The teacher-child ratio is approximately one to three. Our low ratio allows us to better individualize our program.
Research and evaluation projects are an integral part of the function of our school. Research topics are related to childhood nutrition, early childhood education and child/family development. Parental permission is required for participation in each project.
