The Growing Tree II Learning Center In Jersey City
The Growing Tree II Learning Center Jersey City, a program of UCP of Hudson County, provides daycare services for children 6 weeks to 4 years of age. Their program is housed in a one-story building with ADA accessibility and an enclosed playground. The Growing Tree II is made up of four classrooms which each serve a separate age group as specified by the New Jersey Office of Licensing and maintains child/staff ratios in accordance with these regulations as well.
Their center, located in downtown Jersey City, is within walking distance for many of the families served. Public transportation is also easily accessible (bus lines, light rail, and the path train are within 2-3 blocks) making it an easy commute into New York City.
The center offers a nurturing, loving, and warm environment where the children are treated as individuals. The children learn and develop at their center following the guidance of our diverse and certified staff using developmentally appropriate practices as outlines by NAEYC. All of their staff members are also First Aid and CPR certified and re-certification is completed yearly. The classrooms are rich in literacy and multicultural experiences since all toys and areas are labeled using the languages that are represented within our center.
