ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
"...and each time one prematurely teaches a child something he could have discovered for himself, that child is kept from inventing it and, consequently, from understanding it completely." - Jean Piaget
A network of communication exists between children, parents and teachers at Garden State Academy Preschool of the Arts. These three units work together to create a spirit of cooperation, collaboration, and co-construction of knowledge. Working towards a common purpose to provide each child an opportunity to engage in new experiences within a logical and meaningful context. The teaching staff at Garden State Academy are keen observers, documenters, and partners in the learning process. This allows children to ask their own questions, and generate and test their own hypothesis. Children also have the opportunity to explore and generate many possibilities, communicate their ideas to others and revisit the opportunity to organize their concepts, ideas and thoughts to construct new meaning.
Garden State Academy Preschool of the Arts offers a unique program of highly educated teachers and professionals, eager to engage children to reach their optimal potential.

Garden State Academy will provide children with a developmentally appropriate preschool education, in which learning is facilitated to enhance their own discovery.
