Jin-A has and continues to provide superb level of professional and loving care, in so many areas: the unit themes, the individual needs of each child, the needs of the group, parent engagement, and communication.
All the children learn about themselves and their world through the same unit theme. Each age group's learning is scaffolded, appropriate for their level.
With the teachers' guidance, the kids are taught to be self-reliant and independent. At the same time, they are also taught to care about their peers.

Dear Jin-A team,
This was with a very heavy heart that we left New Jersey for Europe and had to put an end to our little girl attending your magic school that felt like a second home to her and where she was always happy to return day after day.
You joined us and supported us in every way in this incredible and challenging journey nurturing our little one with essential values, knowledge and happiness to grow peacefully and to become the smart, curious, fun, loving, joyful, cheerful, empathetic and kind little person she is today.
There might not be enough and powerful words to express our gratitude

We have sent 3 children to Jina over the course of the last 6 years. We love it there. It is a great environment to nurture children in. It is more than a daycare, it is a family. You can tell that the staff truly loves the children. Not only does the program intellectually nurture a child but it also fosters character development so children leave equipped to start school academically and socially. Loved it so much i continued through Kindergarten.

Our son has attended Jin A for the past two years, and we can honestly say he's had an incredible learning experience there. The teachers, atmosphere, and other children attending are second to none...He was cared for, taught, and exposed to so many different elements he wouldn't ordinarily experience (such as nature classes, fantastic diversity, and an atmosphere whose foundation is based on "play", to name a few) My wife and I will be eternally grateful for the learning foundation Jin A has provided our son these past two years. That being said, we don't hesitate to sing Jin A's praises any chance

My son started here at 2 and a half and stayed until he left for Kindergarten at almost 6. Jin-a is a gem of a school. The staff and teachers, are all so warm and helpful. They really love and care for the kids. They always had so many wonderful extra programs as well, great art classes, music, lots of fun projects and educational field trips. The campus itself is a dream. We absolutely loved our time there and felt so lucky to be a part of the "Jin-a family." I would recommend it to anyone.

My son is now five and has attended Jin-a from when we was 14 months old. What attracted me to the center was the loving staff and the amazing playground (go check it out- it's incredible!). When my daughter was born, I could now wait until she turned 1 to start her at Jin-a. Both my children have developed a love of nature, a sense of compassion, and love from their teachers. It really feels like you are part of a family, and I would chose them over and over again to care for my children. My son goes to Kindergarten in September and I am so sad that his time at Jin-a is coming to an end. However

Our daughter has been going to Jin A since she was 1 years old, she’s almost 4 now! The family at Jin A have become an important part of my daughter’s life. Jin A is an incredible daycare full of love, instruction, and above and beyond care that is not found in many daycares. I have met many of the parents that go to Jin A and we all have the common denominator of knowing that our child is in good hands. It is a joy to see our daughter light up when she gets to school to play with her friends and interact and learn from her teachers. I highly recommend any parent looking for a daycare to consider

My son is four-years-old, and has attended Jin-A since he was about thirteen months-old. My family, and I absolutely adore the staff, and curriculum, that Jin-A has to offer. Additionally, the outdoor playground is not only gorgeous, it allows the children to cooperatively play and explore a complex outdoor environment. There is something for every child's interest with the garden, the play sets, and even the onsite swim lessons. We have met life long friends, that feel like extended family, thanks to all of the warm birthday celebrations at Jin-A as well. If we had continued to live near by, our

Jin-A Child Care Center is so much more than a place where they will watch your child while you work. They provide a nurturing and safe environment with an emphasis in emotional, artistic, personal and academic growth. My oldest child attended Jin-A from age 1.5 up to kindergarten and my youngest is currently there. Both of them have had very positive experiences and have grown quite attached to their teachers and Jin-A. The staff was also very patient with me (as a parent with anxiety separation!) and went out of their way to reassure me that all would be alright. I wholeheartedly recommend Jin
