Hidden between the bustling cities of New York and Philadelphia, the jigsaw puzzle-shaped state of New Jersey is home to an extraordinary crew of children, known as the "Book Buccaneers." Lead by their enchanting captain, a cool imaginary character named Jovial Jersey, the Book Buccaneers are famous for their love for reading. Jersey, with his flamboyantly tall hat and eyeglasses as large as pizza pies, is no ordinary captain. With a hearty laugh that sounds like a mix between a hiccup and a sneeze, he guides the kids through uncharted territories of imagination and knowledge, sailing on a ship made entirely of books! These swashbuckling, book-loving kids hail from the sandy beaches of Cape May to the towering cliffs of the Palisades. Their adventures take them through the Pine Barrens, where they read about mythical creatures under the whispering pines, and to the streets of Princeton, where they browse through stories in the university's ancient libraries. A diverse crew they are, with each Buccaneer passionate about a different genre. Some are cupcake-faced detectives who solve mysteries just by flipping pages, while others are pony-tailed princesses who dive into enchanting fairy tales. Yet, they all share the same thrilling love for words, pages, and the magic that springs from them. The Book Buccaneers can turn even the grumpiest of grown-ups into giggling bookworms with their infectious enthusiasm for reading. They live by Jovial Jersey's motto, "The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the further we can sail!" So, if you ever visit the Garden State, keep an eye out for these book-loving pirates, they might just whisk you away on an unbelievable reading adventure!

At Sweet Peas Learning Center, we respect the unique nature of each child’s developmental needs. That is why we tailor our educational programs to fit each individual child. The activities and interactions that our teachers conduct will give the children the kind of experience and nurturing environment they deserve. Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum Our curriculum is based on a central principle of early learning. Our teachers get to know children on every level including how they learn, play and communicate. We personalize learning with individualized attention to fit each child’s interest and abilities. Physical play includes activities that use physical movements to allow children to use their energy, and it gives children the chance to develop gross and fine motor skills, learn new things and socialize. Physical play also benefits a child's health. Our Daily activities and curriculum is full of opportunities for the children of all ages to develop healthy habits.
