About Us

At Prince of Peace Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play and hands-on exploration. Our indoor and outdoor classrooms provide a fun and stimulating learning environment where children can investigate and explore using their tremendous curiosity while developing kindergarten readiness skills. Our students explore our outdoor nature playground and garden year-round and on a daily basis. One of our primary goals is to develop a positive self-image in each child while practicing social, cognitive and language skills; affirming that he or she is a unique, special person. We utilize Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies to guide our learning with studies and activities that enable children to develop confidence, creativity, and life-long critical thinking skills. In addition, we utilize Learning Without Tears for pre-writing and incorporate a variety of music, process art, and gross/fine motor activities throughout the school day.

Pedaling for POPPS

One of our favorite events at Prince of Peace Preschool is our annual fundraising event, Pedaling for POPPS Trike-a-Thon. On May 20th our students will bring their tricycles and helmets to school and pedal around a track our parents have created complete with bubbles and arches, a trike wash, snack stand, a cheering section for spectators and music! Families and community members can sponsor a rider to support POPPS. As a not-for-profit organization, we work hard to price our tuition to cover our operating costs and keep a quality early childhood education affordable for families. Funds raised help enhance our program with extras and also helps us add to our scholarship fund. Our scholarship fund allows us to offer assistance to families who may need a helping hand with tuition and offer a discount to first responders and active military members. If you would like to make a donation to our trike-a-thon, you can do so through zelle. Our zelle name is prince of peace church & preschool/email: preschool@princeofpeacenj.org. Please put “Trike-a-Thon” in the reason field. Thank you for all of the types of support we receive at POPPS!
