TESTIMONIALS

Our mission is...

To maintain a safe and nurturing environment which enables the children to be independent, self confident, inquisitive learners.

Here at Just Kidz we have a vision...

  • To develop positive relationships with peers and adults
  • To strengthen and utilize communication skills
  • To respect and accept the differences we all posses
  • To create and nurture a sense of belonging
  • To maintain an atmosphere that promotes learning through play
  • To establish a connection between parent, community and school
  • To protect the innocence and beauty that is found in every child

In hopes that the children of today will be the achieving, compassionate intellectual adults of tomorrow.


JUST KIDZ is located within a quiet neighborhood in Parsippany, NJ. The center is conveniently accessible to Routes 287,280,202,80,46 & 10.

WHAT SETS US APART

The primary objective of our school is to help your child develop a positive attitude toward him/herself and toward everything associated with learning. 

Curriculum

At JUST KIDZ, we follow the Creative Curriculum philosphies.  The philosphy behind Creative Curriculum is that young children learn best by doing.  In the early years, children explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking).  Exciting development in symbolic thinking takes place during the early childhood years as children play.  "Play is the work of young children."

Values Curriculum

"America's society is changing rapidly.  Technology, our socioeconomic structure, our family structure and our buisness culture are just a few of the areas that have changed over the past 20 years.  Each of those changes has created, and continues to create, its own ripple effect in our attitudes and behavior." (The Values Book, Schiller & Bryant) 

In our hurry up society, we don't always stop and think of all the consequences of the cutural changes taking place.  We need to look forward, considering the effects of our actions.  It is our responsibility to teach values to our children.  The values we impact to our children today, consciously and unconsciously will have a major impact on society tomorrow.  The Values Curriculum focuses on finding new ways to instill traditional values and offer methods for raising children's awareness, understanding and practical experience of these basic values.  The Values Curriculum focuses on activities and methods to instill 16 traditional values.
