The ACS Early Education Center remained open this week to provide critical child care to ACS working families. The Center is state-licensed and falls under the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF), which did not close any child care centers in the state this week.

“We will stay open for as long as we can for our school families until we receive a directive from DCF that we need to close,” said Early Ed Director and Elementary Principal Gail Alford. “If anything changes, I will contact our families by email to let them know.”

Alford said the various classrooms are being cleaned daily by the Early Ed staff to ensure a safe environment for the young children in the center who  range in age from 6 months to 4 years old.
