About This Class

The Dr Seuss and Jamie Lee Curtis Classrooms are contracted through the New Brunswick Local School district. Children ages 3-5 by October 15th of the current school year may enroll through the early childhood office and may request to be placed at Noah’s Ark. State certified early childhood teachers provide a high-quality program in a safe, secure environment. The Tools of the Mind Curriculum encourages the mixed age classrooms of three through five year old children to develop social competence, good health habits, effective problem solving skills, creative expression and an enthusiasm for learning. Our goal is to begin the process of developing a society of independent learners, including children with special needs and English language learners that will cultivate a sense of ownership for their community.
