At Park Side Preschool we emphasize learning through play. We help children develop the desire and confidence to progress and learn at their own pace. It is our goal to provide a safe, supportive, relaxed, and enjoyable atmosphere for our students. Our program is interactive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally diverse. It cultivates the child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development through a well-planned curriculum and activities that encourage self-discovery.
It is important to us that children understand that learning is fun and school is a joyful place! We offer a” Whole Environment” which encourages children to become lifelong learners and prepares them well to move on to kindergarten.
Park Side is a part time preschool. We accept children who are potty trained and will be at least 2 years and 9 months old at the time they start attending. The maximum age is 5 years. Park Side Preschool is a mission of First Presbyterian Church of Newark (FPCN).
