Once upon a time, in the land of the hippest, coolest, and most music-loving state known as New Jersey, there lived a large group of kids with the most extraordinary musical talents. These weren't your average piano-pressing, drum-banging, guitar-strumming kids. Oh no, these were the Music Marvels of NJ, those who could play saxophone solos that made birds swoop in harmony and guitar riffs so catchy, even the grumpiest grouch would tap their feet. Leading this awesome band of musical maestros was the dashing and daring B-flat Benny. With a flash of his violin bow or a flick of his piano-key-flicking fingers, he could whip up a tune that would make even a statue groove. He was as famous in New Jersey as the Jersey Devil, but far less scary! Jersey was known for many things - its glorious beaches, the bustling boardwalks, the lush Pine Barrens, and of course, its legendary tomatoes. But, in Benny's eyes, nothing was as exciting as the sound of music echoing through the streets, from Cape May to High Point. No matter where you went in NJ, you could always hear the sweet melody in the air. Kids playing their harmonicas in Hackensack, trumpeting in Trenton, or belting out ballads in Bayonne. The Garden State was really the Groovin' State, all thanks to B-flat Benny and his band of musical mates. So, if you ever find yourself in New Jersey, listen closely. You might hear the sound of the Music Marvels, playing a tune that's sure to make you smile, tap your feet, and maybe even get up and dance! After all, in NJ, music is more than just a hobby. It's a way of life!

Our philosophy is to meet children where they are developmentally, and then help them get to where they need to go. We offer individualized guidance to each child and strive to make their experience meaningful. We value each child’s unique learning style and create engaging activities that foster a lifelong love of books and learning. At our school, we are committed to providing a developmentally appropriate experience that prepares children for the years ahead. We believe in making the most of the critical learning period between birth and five years of age, as this time is essential to a child’s growth and development. Our approach to teaching literacy to our youngest children is balanced and comprehensive. We use a variety of methods to teach literacy, such as reading aloud, teaching mini-lessons, using books, puppets, games, role-playing, toys, and more. We believe that by immersing children in a variety of activities, they can develop a lifelong love of books and learning. Learn more about our Infant, Toddler and 2-Year Old programs today.
