Welcome Meet the Team »

Knowledge Beginnings in Westwood has been in operation since the spring of 1999. Once inside our doors, you will feel welcomed and comfortable, by our enthusiastic, caring staff and our unusual, fun architecturally structured building. Many of our staff has been here with us since the doors opened and have had the opportunity to see so many children grow into “big kids” and move onto Elementary School.

We are conveniently located on Route 1, next to the Lambert’s Plaza, in Westwood. We are open Monday through Friday, 6:30AM – 6:00PM, 52 weeks a year, with only 9 major- Holiday closings. We care for Infants through Kindergarten in a loving, educational environment.

In addition to our full curriculum that runs year round in each classroom we offer additional programs that your children can opt to enroll into. These programs include music, cooking, Spanish and Phonics. - Maryellen Leach, Center Director

Programs Offered

• Infant Programs (6 Weeks – 1 Year)

  Infant Programs
  (6 Weeks–1 Year)

  Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.

• Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)

  Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

  As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

• Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)

  Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

  As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

• Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)

  Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

  Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
