About Luna De Papel:
In a world where everyone is increasingly used to working with electronic devices, at Luna de Papel they take a step back and focus on practical life skills that teach an appreciation for handcrafts. Children today are used to instant gratification, this can stifle the ability to strive for long-term goals. Handcrafts take commitment but they teach children that they can achieve great things if they take them one step at a time. At Luna de Papel, they teach children how to “create”. When they learn to create, they know that they can control their environment, which builds tremendous self-esteem. Their goal is to build self-esteem through more approachable, authentic, and sustainable self-expression than simple art.

About The Waldo School:
The Waldo School project came to life when two friends came together because they could not find a school in the area that followed their educational philosophy for their children.
Located in the heart of the Waldo section of the Jersey City Waterfront, The Waldo School sets the standard for leading private education. By adopting and developing a highly innovative curriculum, our students are encouraged to explore and flourish while discovering and developing new talents. Their students are inspired to grow as individuals, with no child forced to ascribe to one specific mold, through equal emphasis on all disciplines and opportunities to explore concepts at his or her own pace.

With weekly onsite COVID-19 testing, they are able to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and provide a safe environment for students and staff members.
About Ivy Primary Prep
Education is not singular. At times, we hang on to how things have been done in the past and underestimate new research that shows the benefits of combining academics and play to further development. At Ivy Primary Prep our philosophy is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where our students are comfortable and eager to learn. We want to foster an academic environment that encourages our students to learn by exploring and asking questions. Our curriculum is built on a foundation of academics and play.
The Facility
Being an early education center built in a COVID world, our brand new facility was designed with our Little Ivies’, community, and staff health and safety as our #1 priority. Our innovative HVAC system and iWave generators are designed to optimize both air purification and ventilation, providing a premium level of air quality. To ensure the safety of our students and faculty, our classrooms are designed with their own exit door. Students are dropped off and picked up directly to their classrooms allowing minimal to no interaction with students from other classrooms.

About My Gym Children’s Fitness Center of Jersey City

My Gym was born out of our passion to teach children in a fun, physically engaging environment. We delighted in seeing children’s eyes light up for all those incredible milestones, from the tentative first steps to tumbling down soft mats. Sharing the parents’ excitement at their children’s accomplishments was the high point of our day.
We knew from the start that, through fun and captivating activities, we could accomplish great things. Our goal: To create an environment where children feel loved and supported so their self-esteem and confidence can flourish. Now, more than 35 years later, we’re proud to say that all children of all abilities can succeed and thrive at My Gym.
With 700+ locations worldwide, our dream of active, giggling children growing into happy and confident adults has been realized. We cherish every one of our members and are grateful to have each as part of our My Gym family.

This event is organized by JCFamilies and Jersey City Moms

JCFamilies runs approximately 18-20 free events throughout the year. These events provide fun and learning for children while parents connect with other families in the area. Our non-profit organization needs your donations and supporters to continue providing free events and classes for kids and families.
Jersey City Moms is a Facebook support group for moms in the area; it’s a great platform to connect with local moms.

About The Waldo School:
The Waldo School Jersey City project came to life when two friends came together because they could not find a school in the area that followed their educational philosophy for their children.
Located in the heart of the Waldo section of the Jersey City Waterfront, The Waldo School sets the standard for leading private education. By adopting and developing a highly innovative curriculum, our students are encouraged to explore and flourish while discovering and developing new talents. Their students are inspired to grow as individuals, with no child forced to ascribe to one specific mold through equal emphasis on all disciplines and opportunities to explore concepts at his or her own pace.
