About Children’s Day
Children’s Day Preschool and Family Center is an early childhood education program located in Passaic, New Jersey that has continuously served America’s changing immigrant population since 1892. We provide a high-quality education to 117 children 2 1/2 to 5 years of age.
Our Mission
At Children’s Day Preschool, our mission is to provide outstanding early childhood education, build child and family resilience, and holistically nurture the development of young children.
We envision a community where all children have the resilience needed to overcome everyday challenges and families are well prepared to guide them into being the future leaders of the world.
Our Goal
We ensure our young students are provided educational, nutrition, health, therapeutic, and support services that establish a strong foundation for them to succeed in school and life.
At Children’s Day, we seek to improve the quality of life for children and their families through the seamless delivery of child and family systems-driven programs that respond to, and respect, their diversity, culture, and unique needs.
Our Awards
We are proud to be designated a model state-funded pre-k of the very highest quality, certified by Grow NJ Kids (GNJK) as a 4-Star Rated program. Children’s Day exceeds New Jersey’s state standards, which is a top pre-k system in the nation. We provide academic and social support above state requirements, ingeniously braiding together state, national, Head Start, and other funds to meet the comprehensive needs of our students. Several local universities rely on Children’s Day as a highly regarded training ground for interns studying effective practices in early childhood education and therapeutic services.
