History

Our school has been in existence since 1970.

Kiddie Korner has an excellent reputation throughout

the community for its exceptional curriculum, which

combines cognitive learning, social growth, emotional

development and elective play. We take pride that our

school remains small and that our classes are limited

in size. We delight in the return of our children year

after year. We have children whose parents and older

siblings attended Kiddie Korner. There are entire

extended families who have attended and continue

to come to our school for the unique early learning

experience we provide.We are active members of

the National Association for the Education of Young

Children (NAEYC) and are licensed by the State of

New Jersey. Parents are welcome to visit our school

and observe our outstanding program.

What makes us special

Staff

Our staff is chosen for their warmth, caring and

professional concern for young children. Staff

training, meetings, supervision and seminars

continue throughout the school year. The Director

has a BA degree in Child Development. The Lead

Teacher has a BA degree in Early Childhood

Education with Special Ed certification. She is

currently working on her MA in Education

with specializations in Early Childhood Education

and Child Development. The Head Teacher has

a BA in Special Education. One of our Teacher

Assistants is working towards her Child

Development Association Certification (CDA).

Our other Teacher Assistant is currently enrolled in

Camden County College.

Social discoveries begin with self discovery,

as every child's individual growth pattern and

uniqueness is respected, appreciated and enjoyed.

Role playing, holiday celebrations, field trips and

visitors are some of the vehicles utilized to

help expand concepts of self, family and community.

Tolerance and consideration of others is fostered,

as we explore with the children the amazing world

around us.

Language and reading readiness skills are strength-

ened as children are encouraged to share their ideas,

feelings, experiences, accomplishments and discoveries

with teachers and peers. The treasures found in books

unfold through storytelling, poetry, films, puppetry,

and our comprehensive library . Dramatic play is

enhanced t hrough dress up and role playing. The

children reenact themes events and stories using

various props and costumes.

A computer center is utilized to enhance learning

objectives. Cognitive skills and fundamental concepts

will be reinforced using various software programs

as motivational tools.

Quantitative concepts develop spontaneously in daily

routines: block building, pouring, measuring, weighing,

counting, classifying, estimating, making predictions,

observing, and sorting anything and everything.

Creative curiosity is stimulated through a wide choice

of art media. Guidance is provided in utilization of

materials, while the finished product is left to each

child's innovative ingenuity. Creations of artistic merit

are displayed not only here at Kiddie Korner but also

occasionally throughout the community.

Awareness of the environment, curiousity,

observational skills, logical thinking, and problem

solving skills are acquired naturally through

experiences with pets, simple machines, sound,

seasons, weather and cooking activities.

Music is an integral part of the program. Imaginative

interpretations are elicited, as children are encouraged

to respond individually to music in its various forms.

Singing and rhythm instruments are provided for group

participation. Professional musicians occasionally visit

with their instruments to expose the children to live

music.

Movement Education provides a sense of space and

direction, balance, eye-hand coordination, perception

and rhythm for developing body tone and image.

This development is enhanced through specially

designed equipment and well supervised playground

and swimming activities, including a weekly

KIDS FIT AND FUN class with Mr. Dave, a certified

personal trainer.

We are always excited about Summer Camp!

Summer Session includes all of the programs

mentioned above and also provides certified

swim instruction , (at the nearby Crystal Lake Pool),

bus field trips off site, walking trips in the

neighborhood, visits to nearby parks, and an

emphasis on outdoor activities, such as sports,

games and nature.
