Rutgers Community Programs are for families who want a nurturing, fun environment where children can learn through creative play.

Early childhood education experts point to several areas of development that help prepare children for school success. At Rutgers, all domains of learning—physical, social and emotional, cognitive, and creative expression—are nurtured in an interrelated, child-centered approach.

Our programs are designed for your growing child. We offer playgroups as well as classes in art; movement, music, and dance; Chinese language and culture; and soccer, all developmentally appropriate for children as they grow from being toddlers to preschoolers to elementary school children.

Our classes for preschoolers include On My Own Playgroups, a gentle separation program for children 2-3 years of age. Older, independent preschoolers (3-5 years) can then join our Ready, Set, Go! Preschool Alternative program, dedicated to enrichment, discovery, and creativity through a variety of activities.

The learning environment at Rutgers is a special place. All our programs take place in a warm, inclusive community. Our instructors have been with Rutgers for many years, and support each other through team teaching and collaboration. Our facilities include an art studio, a gym, an auditorium with stage, and a new classroom for Ready, Set, Go!. It is a safe and supportive environment, conveniently located on the Upper West Side at the corner of 73rd and Broadway.
