Welcome to The Learning Depot
As a school for little explorers, we are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. Every class is taught with an abundance of warmth, encouraging our students to follow their creative endeavors and curiosity. 🌟
For many of our students, we are their very first steps into school. With this in mind, we strive to give our students an experience that will make them love and value learning in their everyday lives.
The Learning Depot's
Pillars of Success
Positive Education
At The Learning Depot School, we encourage within our students a strong sense of independence and self-confidence. With this at the forefront of our philosophies, we greatly believe in positive education. Some techniques our teachers use regularly are positive reinforcement of good behavior, positive redirection, and offering appropriate ways to engage with emotions.
Family Partnership
It takes a village to raise a child, that’s why we believe in close partnerships with our student families. It’s important to us that we collaborate with our parents and families, giving students a sense of consistency at home and at school. From regular updates to newsletters, we make it a top priority to include parents and families in every step of their children’s development. We spend an equal amount of time listening to parents’ thoughts and feedback.
Curated Environment
Environment plays a huge role in child development. What children hear, see, and experience matters. At The Learning Depot, we apply this concept to both our classroom spaces and curriculum. We pay careful attention to how each classroom is set up, as well as all content placed before the children.
Lifelong Learning
We view our students as life’s little explorers. Our program gives students the necessary tools to delve into the world around them as they grow and develop. Learning Depot children are equipped to continue their own educational endeavors for their whole life’s journey.
Grow NJ Kids
At our preschool, we are proud to be a part of the Grow NJ Kids initiative. This state-sponsored program is designed to raise the quality of childcare and early learning experiences, giving us the resources we need to provide the best possible care for your child. We are committed to this process and look forward to all the opportunities it will bring to the community.
Procare Parent Engagement
We believe in open communication and that's why we use the Procare Engagement App to share your child's in-class activities and developmental milestones with you. Our app is designed to connect the learning experiences of your child to state standards, while supporting various learning methodologies. Our team is committed to providing the best possible care and education for your child.
