Since 1995, Preschool Advantage has recognized the long-term impact that quality early childhood education has on children and the character of our community. Studies have demonstrated that early childhood education profoundly affects a child’s life: Intellectual development, self-confidence, even future earning potential. It enables our children to grow up to be responsible and fulfilled adults.
This is a fantastic program. My children attended a partner preschool Morris Plains Cooperative Playschool that provides a research backed play- based curriculum. They learned and grew so much there and I as a parent did too. I am proud that this very affordable school has for years been offering access to even more families through Preschool Advantage.
