The Growing Tree Learning Center II, a program of UCP of
Hudson County, provides day care services for children 6 weeks to 4 years of
age. Our program is housed in a one story building with ADA accessibility and
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.
Our 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 our center following the guidance of our diverse and certified staff using
developmentally appropriate practices as outlines by NAEYC. All of our staff
members are also First Aid and CPR certified and re-certification is completed
yearly. Our classrooms are rich in literacy and multicultural experiences,
since all toys and areas are labeled using the languages that are represented
within our center.
At the Growing Tree II we have our own kitchen and a cook
who prepares all of our children's meals fresh and on site. We follow the menus
for children as provided by the US Department of Agriculture. We are both vegetarian
and vegan friendly and will provide alternatives or your child on a daily
basis. Lastly, if your child has food allergies and/or religious food
restrictions, many will be accommodated by providing and alternative option.
The Growing Tree II is a peanut free zone.
At the Growing Tree II, we are open year round! The center
only closes for major holidays, professional development days, or inclement
weather as decided by city officials.
