Mountainside Children's Center

The mission of Mountainside is to meet the child care needs of working families. We believe Mountainside is a place where children are loved and cared for; not just taken care of.

As a staff, our desire is to reach the heart and mind of each child, providing them with a solid foundation for future learning by enhancing their social, fine/gross motor and cognitive skills and by promoting and modeling values such as love, respect, honesty, and kindness. We honor religious preferences and respect individual beliefs.

At Mountainside we provide your child with a solid foundation for learning. With stimulating materials and challenging activities, we've created a learning center that encourages participation in science, art, block building, math, sensory play, dramatic play, and language arts.

Our spacious centers includes state-of-the-art curricular materials, well appointed classroom spaces, indoor gross motor space, full size kitchen and huge outdoor natural playscapes.

Our dedicated team of professional teachers are educated and trained in Early Childhood Education. Education and professional development are top priorities for our teachers and the Management team encourages all teachers to be actively pursuing their bachelor or master's degrees in addition to attending workshops and lectures on up-to-date information in the field. All teachers hold state license from the Department of Early Education and Care and are certified in First Aid and CPR.
