Where Fun and Learning
go Hand-in-Hand!

 Starting School

 “GOOD MORNING!!” “How are you?”  “What do you want to show me today?”

“Wow, what a great spaceship!”  “Thank you for such a special picture.”

“What do you need to tell me?”

.....Some of the many greetings each child experiences as they start their day at Tinton Falls Cooperative Preschool. Each day is a special day for our children and teachers here at TFCP and we strive to make every child feel confident, respected, and an important part of their class and school.

Tinton Falls Cooperative Preschool (formerly Nursery School) is now enrolling children for both Summer Camp and our 2015-2016 School Year.  We offer Mommy & Me for 18 to 30 month old children, Preschool Classes for 2 ½ to 3 year olds, and 3 to 4 year olds.  We also offer a Pre-K program as well as Kindergarten Enrichment.  In addition to our regular classes we provide Lunch Bunch/Extended Care from 8 am to 3 pm.

What Preschoolers NEED as Learners

In today’s curriculum climate (“no child left behind”, “core curriculum”, “meeting curriculum standards”, etc.) it is too easy to forget that preschool children learn differently than elementary aged children.  Preschoolers NEED time to play in order to properly understand the world in which they live.  Preschool children NEED to touch things as they discover the difference between squishy and sandy.  Preschool children NEED to get things “wrong” in a safe environment where they can keep working to get it “right”.  Preschool children NEED to know that when they need a hug it is readily available, they don’t even need to ask.  Preschool children are learning from these and every other experience they have throughout the day.  This enables each child to have a concrete understanding that translates into better learning and comprehension throughout the rest of their lives.  Preschool children do not learn to pass a test, they learn to understand, question, and understand some more, and each day they have a world to learn from.  TFCP helps bring more of that world to each child.  Our environment encourages learning through play.  We introduce “academic” concepts as naturally as possible, they are just another part of our world in which we live.  This enables your child to build a strong base of language, concepts, reasoning, comprehension, and social skills in which he/she will continue to build on throughout a lifetime.  We know that each day in which our children have the opportunity to better understand the world that they live in will help them become more confident and interested learners.

Parents, Are YOU ready for Preschool?

As a parent you may be eager to send your child to her first school experience or you may be waiting until he is “ready”, or you might not know when the best time to start school may be.  Here at TFCP we help each family every step of the way.  We pride ourselves on being a “family of families”.  One parent wrote: “TFCP creates a wonderful nurturing community for kids and parents.”* (For more parent testimonials please visit our page on yelp at:  http://www.yelp.com/biz/tinton-falls-cooperative-preschool-tinton-falls)  Whatever your thoughts about preschool are, give us a call and set up a visit.  We will be happy to discuss with you the possibilities for your child. 

TFCP Teachers

Learning is a lifelong adventure.  It is our teachers’ job to help each child find the tools to help them throughout this adventure.  Preschool children are eager to explore, examine, experiment, create, move, and interact.  All our Certified Teachers here at TFCP set up interesting environments, introduce unusually things, encourage movement and outdoor play, demonstrate how to be a friend, and are as excited about your child’s discover as he/she is.  Our teachers play an important role in which we are sometimes the guides, sometimes the “back-stage” crew, and sometimes the audience. Each child’s learning style and interests are what we use to help build the learning environment, the classroom, into your child’s world of discovery. 

Time to say “Goodbye”

Whether your child waves at the door and doesn’t look back,  walks in behind mom with a tiny “hello”, runs in with stories and energy but grabs Dad’s hand as soon as he starts to leave, or gets right to “work” after a kiss and a “goodbye”; we will help you and your child through this transition.  Our teachers are parents themselves and understand what you and your child are going through.  We work together: teachers, parents, and children, to assure the best day for everyone.  Our goal is that each “goodbye” is another opportunity for your child to learn and grow, so that each “hello” is an opportunity for every parent to discover another amazing something about their child.
