The program is led by certified teachers in every classroom and uses an NJ State licensed curriculum. It offers individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions with a certified BCBA and therapists and includes a specialized, inclusive Bridge Program for learners of all abilities. The center features spacious, colorful, fairy tale-themed classrooms, “Just Right” classrooms for different stages of development, expansive outdoor playgrounds, a dedicated art studio, and tailored infant suites with an exclusive curriculum designed around key developmental milestones for infants. The program’s three stated pillars are creativity, discovery, and play, and it also offers a summer camp described as an outdoor adventure where learning never takes a vacation. Healthy snacks and meals are provided, and pickup is available from select local schools. Families are asked to send a change of clothes, a favorite comfort item such as a blanket or stuffed bear, and a big smile, and a detailed supply list is given at enrollment. A virtual tour with 360° exploration of classrooms is available, and the program has two state-of-the-art locations in Wallington and Rutherford. The center states that its fairy tale began in 2008 and that its mission is supporting the families of its community through a loving and caring atmosphere, with day care, preschool, and after-school programs where every child finds their “just right” learning adventure. Goldilocks Children Learning Center is described in parent reviews as having patient, kind, and caring teachers, a caring and loving atmosphere, and staff who helped children feel comfortable and ready for kindergarten.
