About Us

The Environment

Rahway Day Care Center is a private non-profit child care center proudly serving the community since 1972. We strive to provide a clean, safe and educational environment for young children and their families. Within our care, children develop skills that promote physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We believe in being supportive of our parents and we welcome their positive involvement and presence. We further believe that within our environment, children can thrive and have the opportunity to blossom into responsible and contributing members of our society.

Our Philosophy

At Rahway Day Care Center we recognize that each child is an individual with a unique pattern of interests, capabilities and aspirations. These qualities shall be nurtured in a healthy and safe environment in which the child can develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. Each child’s sense of autonomy, self-esteem and self-discipline shall be facilitated in our warm and caring environment. All aspects of our program will utilize creativity with the child’s interest in mind in order to satisfy their desire to explore and promote discovery. We recognize that each child experiences life at their own level. We support these learning aspirations and emerging capabilities of each child. The individuality of each child shall be recognized and respected and shall be developed to its full potential. At Rahway Day Care Center we strive to create a supportive family atmosphere in which the program is an extension of both the home and the community. We believe that we must all work together in order to meet the needs of our children.
