New Jersey, or as our witty and whimsical imaginary friend, the Giggle Goblin, refers to it, "New Joy-sey," is one of the smallest states in America, packed tighter than a jar of jelly beans with interesting places to discover and explore. Giggle Goblin likes to think of it as a plump blueberry muffin, crammed with an assortment of delectable sights, sounds, and stories. From the majestic Appalachian Mountains in the west, to the sun-kissed beaches of the Jersey Shore in the east, each corner of the "Garden State" is brimming with a unique flavor of its own! Now, let's not forget the pint-sized Picassos and mini Hemingways who call New Joy-sey home. These imaginative kids are as diverse as the state's landscape, each one a master of their own creative universe. Whether they're penning gripping tales of intergalactic adventures, or painting a picture of the world as seen through their kaleidoscope eyes, these little wordsmiths and artists are not afraid to let their creativity flow as freely as the water in the Delaware River. Our friend, the Giggle Goblin, is particularly smitten with these young scribes. He loves to pop up during their writing activity, peeking over shoulders and cackling with delight at their wonderful tales. He is especially fond of the funny stories, which send him into fits of uncontrollable laughter, causing his round belly to jiggle like a bowl full of rainbow jelly. He often tells them, "In New Joy-sey, the skyscrapers might scrape the sky, but your imaginations, kiddos, reach right up to the stars!"

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.
