At REACH, we believe that quality early childhood education is the cornerstone of development and the foundation for future success in schooling and beyond.

Our innovative curriculum has been developed by Ridgewood Public Schools and is designed for optimal development of the “whole” child by providing educational experiences in all learning domains.

Our integrated program offers a multi-sensory approach to instruction, focusing on early social/ emotional learning, communication, and academic readiness to build a strong learning foundation for students to take with them into elementary school.

REACH Pre-K3 (3 years old by 9/1/24) or REACH Pre-K4 (4 years by 10/1/24) offers a multi-sensory, play-based learning environment that encourages exploration and discovery through teacher-guided centers.

Our curriculum is based on units of study that are delivered as structured play activities to develop logical thinking and language skills to promote kindergarten readiness. Stimulating multi-sensory classroom centers investigate letters, numbers/math concepts, and pre-reading skills for an integrated and fun approach to learning.

REACH TK has been designed for the young 5-year-old (by 12/31/24) who may benefit from an extra year before entering kindergarten.

Our program has been developed to provide a bridge from preschool to kindergarten and is aligned with Ridgewood Public School’s kindergarten curriculum and standards. The program uses multi-sensory learning concepts to reinforce key academic areas such as, reading readiness, language, literacy and math/number concepts.
