NEW! Preschool Expansion
The Elmwood Park Public Schools Preschool Program
We are a community dedicated to creating an educational environment where students are empowered to exceed their potential through a challenging, innovative, and interdisciplinary curriculum. By fostering character, dignity, and respect for self and other cultures, students will become creative thinkers and global citizens able to thrive in a diverse and evolving society. Early childhood education is essential in building a foundation for a successful educational career. Our mission is to provide an inclusive learning program that meets the educational, social, emotional and developmentally appropriate milestones in early childhood education with a partnership of staff, families, and community members to nurture our youngest learners. We are committed to providing a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for all students to thrive and grow throughout their educational journey. The Board of Education will offer each child in our early educational program the elements of a high-quality preschool. The school district will develop and explore the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards to deliver the curriculum with fidelity to our youngest learners. Our goal is to deliver a program where children are encouraged to think independently and whose social, emotional, and creative abilities are developed and nourished to their fullest potential.
