Excitement was in the air as ACS welcomed parents and preschoolers to our Early Education Center Open House on April 28. The Open House gave parents and their young children the opportunity to get better acquainted and acclimated to our teachers and aides and to explore our classrooms before the Center opened on Monday, August 31 for the fall.

The Early Education Center operates year-round and serves children from 6 months through PreK4.  Early Ed Center Director Gail Alford said the Center was open during the summer and provided a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child, with staff following the health and safety protocols recommended by the CDC and the Atlantic County Health Department to protect against the coronavirus. The summer session ended on August 21 and staff spent the following week cleaning and preparing for the fall session.

Admissions Director Jessica Martin said there are some openings available in the Early Education Center and anyone interested in enrolling their child should contact her by phone or email at 609-653-1199, ext. 314 or jmartin@acseht.org. Children in PK1  and PK2 have the option to attend two, three, four, or five full days. Children in PreK3 and PreK4 can be enrolled for two full days, 3 full days or five half days, four full days, or 5 full days.
