As a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, Aquinas Academy encompasses exceptional academic opportunities for all children in a Christ-Centered environment. Our preschool serves as an integral part of the school community, offering differentiated instruction for children age two and one half through five. We provide a variety of flexible schedules including: half-day, school day and full day from two through five days per week from the hours of 7:30 am until 6:00 pm. Service is available from September through June, as well as a summer camp program, during July and August.
At Aquinas Academy, we present a developmentally appropriate curriculum that supports the varied levels of readiness, which are present in the emergent learner. The philosophies and findings of renowned educators are woven into the fiber of our program, along with the experience and skills of our dedicated staff. In addition, we at Aquinas Academy Preschool are in full compliance with the curriculum mapping program instituted by The Archdiocese of Newark, as well as the Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards established by the State of New Jersey.
Our broad-based curriculum has consistently afforded our children a high level of academic success and positive self-esteem.
